Quotations
Freedom
Liberty a word without which all other words are vain.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.
-Adlai E. Stevenson
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"
The only way to achieve freedom is to free your mind from the world we live in.
-Salvatore Palladino
Freedom is the ultimate dignity of a human being, please handle it with utmost
care. Neither should you interfere in anyone's life nor let any person, religion,
society or scripture intervene in your life. Because...you are unique and the
only one of your kind. No one like you has ever been born before nor would be.
Hence, your only duty as a human being is to safeguard yourself against all and
make the journey of your life a truly memorable one.
-Deep Trivedi
Nobody objected to live in prison
if already felt comfortable living in it.
-Toba Beta
"Master of Stupidity"
Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.
-Ronald Reagan
If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
-John F. Kennedy
"Kennedy's Inaugural address of 1961."
Better to die on one's feet than to live on one's knees.
-Jean Paul Sartre
