Angela Merkel Quote

We see that living in freedom and defending freedom are two sides of one and the same coin, for the precious gift of freedom doesn't come naturally, but has to be fought for, nurtured, and defended time and time again. Sometimes this may seem like an endless fight against windmills. But you see, my personal experience is a quite different one. What we dare not dream of today may well become reality tomorrow. Neither the chains of dictatorship nor the fetters of oppression can keep down the forces of freedom for long.
