Quotations
Freedom
A person’s freedom can be seen as being valuable in addition to his or her achievements.
-Amartya Sen
Until we are all free, we are none of us free.
-Emma Lazarus
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"
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
-Sigmund Freud
"Civilization and Its Discontents"
The amount of "freedom" with which you are living your life, can be determined
by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
-Deep Trivedi
Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.
-Albert Camus
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 history of free men is never written by chance but by choice - their choice.
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
