The free man owns himself
He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling
If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul
but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog..
~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton ~ (1874-1936)
British essayist, critic, poet, and novelist

I am now quite sure that 'Tragedy and Hope' was suppressed although
I do not know why or by whom. ~ C.Quigley ~
