Quotations
Freedom
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
-Thomas Jefferson
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 the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose - and commit myself to - what is best for me.
-Paulo Coelho

If we sincerely want to become a liberated person, then we have to be willing to be independent in a world where so few truly think for themselves.
-Andrew Cohen "Andrew Cohen"
Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
