"If society fits you comfortably enough, you call it freedom"

- Robert Frost

About this Quote

This quote by Robert Frost speaks to the idea that liberty is frequently a subjective principle. It suggests that liberty is not always a universal state of being, however rather an individual experience. It indicates that if a person is comfy with the way society is structured, they may consider themselves to be totally free. Nevertheless, this does not always indicate that they are truly complimentary, as they may be unaware of the constraints and restrictions that exist within the society they inhabit. The quote implies that real flexibility is just achieved when a person is aware of the limits of their society and is able to transcend them. It suggests that liberty is not merely a state of comfort, but rather a conscious effort to break free from the confines of society.
