“It is one of the greatest of life’s paradoxes that as much as man seeks to be free, he still wishes to be a slave; not a slave in the sense that his liberty is denied him, but in the sense that he yearns for something he can worship, something which will solicit his will, pull at his heartstrings, tempt his energies, and command his affections.  He wants to be free to choose between the various kinds of happiness, but he does not want to be free from happiness.  He wishes to be its slave.”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (The Eternal Galilean)
