A kite can't really fly free, that's just an expression. In order to soar high in the sky the string of a kite needs to be anchored. If the string breaks the kite drops back to the ground. The kite's freedom depends on it not being as free as he thinks it is. Simon NapierBell
About This Quote

The quote above is a quote from the book "Kite Runner". It starts off with "A kite can't really fly free,that's just an expression. In order to soar high in the sky the string of a kite needs to be anchored. If the string breaks the kite drops back to the ground." This is only an expression.

When you are holding on to something very tightly your freedom doesn't take away from you. You are still where you want to be, but it's only an expression.
