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
Quotations
Freedom
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.
-Jim Morrison
If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.
-Ronald Reagan
Until we are all free, we are none of us free.
-Emma Lazarus
Freedom is not doing what we want, but what we should.
-Victor Manuel Rivera
"In Search of True Freedom"
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
Bondage is of the mind; freedom too is of the mind. If you say ‘I am a free soul. I am a son of God who can bind me' free you shall be.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
-William Faulkner
"Essays, Speeches & Public Letters"
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"
Freedom begins the moment you realize someone else has been writing your story and it's time you took the pen from his hand and started writing it yourself.
-Bill Moyers
