I am so happy in your happiness. To you, happiness is a form of freedom, and of all the people I know you should be free.
-Khalil Gibran

Freedom is that instant between when someone tells you to do something and when you decide how to respond.
-Jeffrey T. Borenstein
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.
No person can do this or that to keep another from being truly free. We are always free. Even if imprisoned.
-Leigh LaValle
"The Runaway Countess"
Most people would look at an animal in a cage and instinctively feel that it should be set free. . . . It's a dangerous world out there, filled with predators. . . . What would you prefer? A comfortable, safe, warm, cosy life in a cage, or an uncertain life of freedom.
-Scarlett Thomas
"Going Out"
When faith in our freedom gives way to fear of our freedom, silencing the minority view becomes the operative protocol.
-Joel Salatin
"Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal: War Stories from the Local Food Front"
Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one.
-A. J. Liebling
Freedom is from within.
-Frank Lloyd Wright
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
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
-Jean Paul Sartre
