Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Quotations
Freedom
If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.
-Malcolm X
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"
Freedom is the ultimate dignity of a human being, please handle it with utmost
care. Neither should you interfere in anyone's life nor let any person, religion,
society or scripture intervene in your life. Because...you are unique and the
only one of your kind. No one like you has ever been born before nor would be.
Hence, your only duty as a human being is to safeguard yourself against all and
make the journey of your life a truly memorable one.
-Deep Trivedi
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
-Benjamin Franklin
A person’s freedom can be seen as being valuable in addition to his or her achievements.
-Amartya Sen
Better to die on one's feet than to live on one's knees.
-Jean Paul Sartre
We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
-William Faulkner
"Essays, Speeches & Public Letters"
Freedom is only the freedom to say no.

If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.
