About This Quote
When a person is a slave he can’t see anything beyond his cage. He is unaware of the world outside and sees his life as nothing more than a prison. A slave can never know freedom. For a slave to be free he would have to be released from slavery.
The only way to achieve freedom from slavery is to rise above it. Freedom from slavery is not something that can be achieved by staying within the confines of it. In order for one to rise above slavery, he must break free from it by rising above its restrictions.
