-John Fowles
"The French Lieutenant's Woman "
Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

-Joseph O'connor
"Star of the Sea"
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"
If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.
-Malcolm X
Freedom is only the freedom to say no.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.
-Henry David Thoreau
Freedom cannot be labeled nor won nor envied. Only when one doesn't realize what freedom is, is one truly free.
-D. J. Niko
"The Tenth Saint: Book One"
Freedom is limited by the need to coexist.
