Quotations
Freedom
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.
-Andrew Cohen "Andrew Cohen"
The only way to achieve freedom is to free your mind from the world we live in.
-Salvatore Palladino
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb.
-Anonymous
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"
Without Freedom or Liberty, creativity cannot exist.
-Richard Diaz
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!
-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
I have come to realize that men are not born to be free.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
I am so happy in your happiness. To you, happiness is a form of freedom, and of all the people I know you should be free.
-Khalil Gibran
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
