malo ... quam ... ⇒ I prefer ... to ...
Preferring what to what? This is why all other words are in accusative singular as simple enumeration:
periculosam ⇒ dangerousness
libertatem ⇒ freedom
quietam ⇒ quietness
servitutem ⇒ slavery
Hence I would take his statement as: "I prefer dangerousness and freedom to quietness and slavery."
- xorry 4y agopericulosam and quietam are adjectives (the comma is wrong)
- xenonite 4y agoThank you for the correction.
- chaostheory 4y ago“I prefer dangerous freedom over quiet slavery.”
