Love and freedom are such hideous words. So many cruelties have been done in their name.

Quotations
Freedom
The history of free men is never written by chance but by choice - their choice.
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid.
-Søren Kierkegaard
Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.
-Ronald Reagan
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
Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward.
-Patricia Sampson
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.
-Jim Morrison
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"
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
Bondage is of the mind; freedom too is of the mind. If you say ‘I am a free soul. I am a son of God who can bind me' free you shall be.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
