Quotations
Freedom
The history of free men is never written by chance but by choice - their choice.
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.
-William Allen White
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
-Abraham Lincoln
So long as we are brave enough to accept the consequences of our actions, no one can take away our freedom of choice.
-Mike Norton
Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward.
-Patricia Sampson
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"
Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.
-Theodor W. Adorno
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.
-Jim Morrison
Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.
-Henry David Thoreau
