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.
Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.
-Albert Camus
Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.
-William Allen White
The history of free men is never written by chance but by choice - their choice.
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
Open up, create free space; release the bound one from his bonds! Like a newborn child, freed from the womb, be free to move on every path!
When faith in our freedom gives way to fear of our freedom, silencing the minority view becomes the operative protocol.
-Joel Salatin
"Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal: War Stories from the Local Food Front"
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
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
"Going Out"
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.
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
-Jean Paul Sartre
