Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization.
Meaning of the quote
Real freedom is found in the natural, untamed world, not in the rules and structure of human society. Lindbergh believed that being truly free means living more like the wild animals, without the constraints of modern civilization. He felt that the most meaningful freedom comes from embracing the untamed side of life, rather than relying on the comforts and order of human-made communities.
