Louis MenandAnxiety is the price tag on human freedom
About This Quote
Anxiety is a natural response to any form of risk. When we leave this world, we will have anxiety over leaving our loved ones. When we leave the comfort of our homes, we will have anxiety over traveling to another location. And when we face a major decision, we will have anxiety about our decision. In the end, the only thing that is certain is that anxiety is a price tag on human freedom.
