<Poor fool. Do you think that I, the hive queen, am free?> Do you think that human parents, once they bear young, are ever truly free again? If life to you means independence, a completely unfettered freedom to do as you like, then none of the sentient creatures is alive. None of us is ever fully free.> <Put down roots, my friend, and then tell me how unfree you were when you were yet unrooted.>
