sacrifices of
personal freedom price pay
civilization
“Do you agree with Lenin’s statement that liberty is a bourgeois prejudice ? ”
‘‘Maybe,” Einstein remarked, slightly inclining his silver head, Lenin was right. Complete freedom is incompatible with civilization. If I don’t want other men to tread on my toes, I, too, must submit to rules and regulations, which limit my freedom. The more highly populated a country is, the greater are the sacrifices of personal freedom demanded of the individual. These sacrifices are the price we pay for civilization.
