The Captive Armies of the Earth

But love is what we want, not freedom. Who then is the unluckier man? The beloved, who is given his heart's desire and must for ever after fear its loss, of the free man, with his unlooked-for liberty, naked and alone between the captive armies of the earth?

- Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet -
