Quotations
Freedom
Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose - and commit myself to - what is best for me.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Zahir"
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"
It has been said that each generation must win its own struggle to be free.
-Robert F. Kennedy
Freedom cannot be labeled nor won nor envied. Only when one doesn't realize what freedom is, is one truly free.
-D. J. Niko
"The Tenth Saint: Book One"
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
-John F. Kennedy
"Kennedy's Inaugural address of 1961."
So long as we are brave enough to accept the consequences of our actions, no one can take away our freedom of choice.
