"It profits me but little that a vigilant authority always protects the tranquillity of my pleasures and constantly averts all dangers from my path, without my care or concern, if this same authority is the absolute master of my liberty and my life."

Girl of the Day - Kelly McGillis

FYI, McGillis late in life, and after two failed marriages with two children, came out as a lesbian.  Meh.   Who cares?
