Quotations
Freedom
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
If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
-John F. Kennedy

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
