"... So, freedom requires multiple values. But then the issue that arises with multiple values is that they contradict. You should be loyal to your friends, but you also should be honest with your friends. You should be in a committed relationship, but you should also be courageous. Those two things contradict. You should be dignified, but you also should be forgiving. Those things contradict, and there is no logical way around these contradictions. Values simply do contradict. And what I think freedom is, is navigating among the different values that are contradictory and which cannot be fully realized."

- Timothy Snyder
