Quotations
Freedom
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
- Jean Paul Sartre
Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose - and commit myself to - what is best for me.
- Paulo Coelho
I am so happy in your happiness. To you, happiness is a form of freedom, and of all the people I know you should be free.
- Khalil Gibran
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

- Scarlett Thomas

Just an intention to be free makes you immediately free.
- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Liberty: One of Imagination's most precious possessions.
