Quotations
Freedom
The history of free men is never written by chance but by choice - their choice.
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
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"
I have come to realize that men are not born to be free.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Be it life or business, it is only freedom that can nurture it. If you want the country
to grow, there is no solution other than setting your economy free.
-Deep Trivedi
If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.
-Malcolm X
Better to die on one's feet than to live on one's knees.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Freedom is limited by the need to coexist.
-Toba Beta
"My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut"
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"
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
-Nelson Mandela
