Freedom
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

It is hard to find a man who has desire for what he has not tasted, or who tastes the world and is untouched. Here in the world some crave pleasure, some seek freedom but it is hard to find a man who wants neither. It is hard to find a man who has an open mind, who neither seeks nor shuns wealth or pleasure, duty or liberation, life or death…He does not want the world to end. He does not mind if it lasts. Whatever befalls him, He lives in happiness.
- Ashtavakra Gita
No person can do this or that to keep another from being truly free. We are always free. Even if imprisoned.

Until we are all free, we are none of us free.
- Emma Lazarus
