I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
-Bob Dylan
Quotations
Freedom
Love and freedom are such hideous words. So many cruelties have been done in their name.
-Joseph O'connor
"Star of the Sea"
Freedom is not doing what we want, but what we should.
-Victor Manuel Rivera
"In Search of True 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
Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward.
-Patricia Sampson
Only free men can negotiate, prisoners cannot enter into contracts.
-Nelson Mandela
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.
-Bob Marley
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"
