أن تكون حرًّا ليس أن تملك القدرة على فعل ما تشاء، بل أن تتجاوز المعطى نحو مستقبلٍ مفتوح.

“To be free is not to have the power to do anything you like; it is to be able to surpass the given toward an open future.”Simone de Beauvoir — The Philosophical Library Existentialism Collection: Essays in Metaphysics, The Ethics of Ambiguity, and The Philosophy of Existentialism (2016)
