Being Adam Parrish was a complicated thing, a wonder of muscles and organs, synapses and nerves. He was a miracle of moving parts, a study in survival. The most important thing to Adam Parrish, though, had always been free will, the ability to be his own master. This was the important thing. It had always been the important thing. This was what it was to be Adam. Maggie Stiefvater

The ability to choose one’s path and the power to follow that path is what makes you truly free. Freedom is not something that can be given or granted; it is something that must be earned.
