Quotations
Freedom
The secret of happiness is freedom but to be totally free you need to earn: courage, persistence and boldness.

Freedom begins the moment you realize someone else has been writing your story and it's time you took the pen from his hand and started writing it yourself.
-Bill Moyers
How can you be free, if you don't even know you're trap or lock inside?
-Ann Marie Aguilar
Freedom is limited by the need to coexist.

"My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut"
Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.
-William Allen White

-Leigh LaValle
"The Runaway Countess"
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"
There are people who are willing to protect freedom until there is nothing left of it.
-Heinar Kipphardt
"In der Sache J. Robert Oppenheimer"
Freedom cannot be labeled nor won nor envied. Only when one doesn't realize what freedom is, is one truly free.
-D. J. Niko
