Freedom
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb.
-Anonymous
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
We gain freedom when we have paid the full price for our right to live.
-Rabindranath Tagore
Be it life or business, it is only freedom that can nurture it. If you want the country
to grow, there is no solution other than setting your economy free.
-Deep Trivedi
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
-Abraham Lincoln
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 "Ashtavakra Gita 17:4-7"
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
-Kris Kristofferson
Either man is wholly determined or else man is wholly free.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.
-Theodor W. Adorno
