Quotations
Freedom
I have come to realize that men are not born to be free.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other.
-Carl Schurz
Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.
-William Allen White
Either man is wholly determined or else man is wholly free.
-Jean Paul Sartre
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"
Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.
-Ronald Reagan
We gain freedom when we have paid the full price for our right to live.
-Rabindranath Tagore
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
-Sigmund Freud
"Civilization and Its Discontents"
Love and freedom are such hideous words. So many cruelties have been done in their name.
-Joseph O'connor
"Star of the Sea"
