About This Quote
A tamed fox would no longer be a fox, it would be a pet. This is the best advice I could give you. You are tamed now, but you are still a fox. The taming process may have worked for me, but I am not telling you to stop being a fox—I am saying don’t let yourself be tamed.
There are times when I feel like crying at everything that I do. I cry when I want to, because it makes me feel better. But if I allow myself to be tamed, then what would become of me? Would I not just simply become someone else’s pet?
