Quote by Orson Scott Card

Quing-Jao: I am a slave to the gods, and I rejoice in it.Jane: A slave who rejoices is a slave indeed.

Quing-Jao: I am a slave to the gods, and I rejoice in it.Jan

Summary

This quote reflects a difference in perspective between Quing-Jao and Jane regarding the idea of servitude to higher powers. Quing-Jao identifies herself as a willing servant to the gods and finds joy in her commitment. In contrast, Jane believes that true freedom lies in not being subservient to anyone. Jane's response highlights the concept that willingly embracing the role of a slave means surrendering one's autonomy, ultimately challenging the notion of true independence and self-determination. Thus, the quote invites reflection on the complexities and personal interpretations of servitude and freedom.
