Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
-Jim Morrison
Quotations
Freedom
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-Benjamin Franklin
There are people who are willing to protect freedom until there is nothing left of it.
-Heinar Kipphardt
"In der Sache J. Robert Oppenheimer"
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
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"
The secret of happiness is freedom but to be totally free you need to earn: courage, persistence and boldness.
-Santosh Kalwar
A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.
-Albert Camus
When we awaken to our truth, we realize we are free.
-Kristi Bowman
"Journey to One: A Woman's Story of Emotional Healing and Spiritual Awakening"
Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose - and commit myself to - what is best for me.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Zahir"
