Quotations
Freedom

Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one.
-A. J. Liebling
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"
Love and freedom are such hideous words. So many cruelties have been done in their name.
-Joseph O'connor
"Star of the Sea"
It has been said that each generation must win its own struggle to be free.
-Robert F. Kennedy
Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.
-Bob Marley
