Oh, free will, how enslaved is man by your freedom, if you are not pinned down by the fear and love of the one who created you! Oh, when will that blissful day come when you will be able to behold yourself drowned in that infinite sea of the highest Truth, where you will no longer be free to sin, nor will you want to, because you will be safe from all misery, domesticated in the life of your God!
(Teresa of Jesus, The Cry of the Soul to God, 17,4)
