Quotations
Freedom
A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.
- Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
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
Freedom is only the freedom to say no.
- Jean Paul Sartre
Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric.
- Thomas Sowell
When faith in our freedom gives way to fear of our freedom, silencing the minority view becomes the operative protocol.
- Joel Salatin
We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
- William Faulkner
Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
- Jim Morrison
The amount of "freedom" with which you are living your life, can be determined
by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
- Deep Trivedi
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
- Nelson Mandela
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
- Jean Paul Sartre
