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.
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
-Sigmund Freud
"Civilization and Its Discontents"
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-Benjamin Franklin
Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
-Jim Morrison
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
-Abraham Lincoln
Ignorance is ultimately the worst enemy of a people who want to be free.
-Jonathan Hennessey
"The United States Constitution: A Graphic Adaptation"
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.
Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.
-William Allen White
