Daniel Cérézuelle summarising Bernard Charbonneau:

"Man is a being who craves, and yet cannot bear, freedom: the fraught unity of spirit and flesh in a contingent mortal existence. Thus he grasps at every conceivable justification to be relieved of the anxiety this awareness brings, as long as he can convince himself he does it freely, even to achieve freedom."
