Jens Bjorneboe Quotes

Freedom Is Not Having Any Standard Outside One's Own Consciousness, But Bearing All Responsibility Oneself. Freedom Means That One Can Never Again Receive Help. Joseph Conrad Says This In Typhoon: The Loneliness Of Command Is That There Is No Help From Anyone In Heaven And Earth. I've Experienced That, In One Single, Decisive Moment: No One Could Help Me, I Had To Do Everything Myself, Without Aid Or Advice From Anyone. It Was An Enormous Loneliness, A Moment Of Total Loneliness Between The Stars And The Earth.
