"The Runaway Countess"
The greatest freedom is to be obedient and faithful to God. As we yield ourselves to God’s love and mercy, we are liberated from the suffering of sins. No longer are we dominated by unreasonable fears, compulsions and addictions. We live in peace and unity with all people. Despair and rage pass away.
If we sincerely want to become a liberated person, then we have to be willing to be independent in a world where so few truly think for themselves.
Freedom is not an individual effort.
Yours comes only when you grant others theirs
-Sergio Aragonés
"The Groo Chronicles"
Just an intention to be free makes you immediately free.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
-Nelson Mandela
A person’s freedom can be seen as being valuable in addition to his or her achievements.
-Amartya Sen
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

Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
-Jean Paul Sartre
