Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.
-Theodor W. Adorno
Quotations
Freedom
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
Freedom is only the freedom to say no.
-Jean Paul Sartre
If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.
-Ronald Reagan
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
The only way to achieve freedom is to free your mind from the world we live in.
-Salvatore Palladino
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
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
-Sigmund Freud
"Civilization and Its Discontents"
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"
We gain freedom when we have paid the full price for our right to live.
-Rabindranath Tagore
