Diving in De Profundis

"To be entirely free, and at the same time entirely dominated by law, is the eternal paradox of human life that we realize at every moment: and this, I often think, is the only explanation possible of your nature, if indeed for the profound and terrible mystery of a human soul there is any explanation at all, except one that makes the mystery all the more marvelous still."

Oscar Wilde,
De Profundis
