Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.
-Henry David Thoreau
Quotations
Freedom
Either man is wholly determined or else man is wholly free.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
-Abraham Lincoln
Freedom is not an individual effort.
Yours comes only when you grant others theirs
-Sergio Aragonés
"The Groo Chronicles"
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
Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward.
-Patricia Sampson
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"
