Quotations
Freedom
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
Freedom is from within.

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
A person’s freedom can be seen as being valuable in addition to his or her achievements.
- Amartya Sen

- Scarlett Thomas
...true freedom is impossible without a mind made free by discipline.
- Mortimer Jerome Adler
Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.

Freedom is not doing what we want, but what we should.
- Victor Manuel Rivera
