You can't know the joy of freedom, and it's worth the danger, pain, and even life in exchange. To be free, to feel that all the minds around you are free, even the shameless ones, is an indescribable joy. It is as if your soul is swimming in the boundless space, so that the soul cannot live elsewhere.

This scene reminds me of Shakespeare's "As You Like It"
Love is nothing but madness; I say to you, a man who has love should treat him like a lunatic, shut him up in a dark room and beat him. So why don't they use this punishment to heal love? Because that kind of madness is very common, even the man with the whip is in love.
