“

The

rational, and that it is my reason that distinguishes me as a human being from the rest of the world

. I wish, above all, to be conscious of myself as a thinking, willing, active being, bearing responsibility for my choices and able to explain them by references to my own ideas and purposes. I feel free to the degree that I believe this to be true, and enslaved to the degree that I am made to realized that it is not.

”

— Isaiah Berlin, Two Concepts of Liberty, 1958.
