Freedom is realizing you have a choice.

Quotations
Freedom
There is only one good definition of God: the freedom that allows other freedoms to exist.
-John Fowles
"The French Lieutenant's Woman "
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"
Freedom is limited by the need to coexist.
-Toba Beta
"My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut"
Nobody objected to live in prison
if already felt comfortable living in it.
-Toba Beta
"Master of Stupidity"
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"
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
When we awaken to our truth, we realize we are free.
-Kristi Bowman
"Journey to One: A Woman's Story of Emotional Healing and Spiritual Awakening"
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
