"Un cuento de hadas (A Fairy Tale) is a story about the dream of freedom, is the story of a king who does not believe in his reign because freedom is his deepest and coveted desire. There is no freedom in royalty, not an unrestrained freedom, of mastery, of outrage, not a liberating freedom. The power denigrates freedom; freedom is powerful when nothing holds, when nothing is to the contrary; love is also a form of freedom, a vast and committed freedom. Feel free and very soon someone will try to put you to sleep."--Antiquarian Booksellers Assoc. of America website, viewed Sept. 26, 2013.
