Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.

Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fang

Summary

This quote suggests that when freedom is taken away and then eventually restored, it becomes more cherished and powerful than if it had never been threatened in the first place. When individuals experience the suppression of their freedom, they become more aware of its value and are determined to protect and defend it. This also implies that the struggle to regain freedom may create a stronger and more resilient society, as people are willing to fight harder to retain the rights they have fought to restore.

The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness.
