-Bill Moyers
Quotations

-Sigmund Freud
"Civilization and Its Discontents"
How can you be free, if you don't even know you're trap or lock inside?
-Ann Marie Aguilar

It has been said that each generation must win its own struggle to be free.
-Robert F. Kennedy
If we sincerely want to become a liberated person, then we have to be willing to be independent in a world where so few truly think for themselves.
-Andrew Cohen "Andrew Cohen"
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
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"
