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
Quotations
Freedom
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
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 is not an individual effort.
Yours comes only when you grant others theirs
-Sergio Aragonés
"The Groo Chronicles"
The only way to achieve freedom is to free your mind from the world we live in.
-Salvatore Palladino
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-Benjamin Franklin
Open up, create free space; release the bound one from his bonds! Like a newborn child, freed from the womb, be free to move on every path!
-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
How can you be free, if you don't even know you're trap or lock inside?
-Ann Marie Aguilar
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 amount of "freedom" with which you are living your life, can be determined
by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
-Deep Trivedi
