Quotations
Freedom
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
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"
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb.
-Anonymous
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"
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"
Just an intention to be free makes you immediately free.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Bondage is of the mind; freedom too is of the mind. If you say ‘I am a free soul. I am a son of God who can bind me' free you shall be.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Garner the strength to keep your 'freedom' intact under any circumstances and
protect your mood at any cost; then whatever may happen to anyone...you will
surely be seated on the ultimate height of joy and success.
-Deep Trivedi
Freedom: both so priceless and so expensive.
