There are people who are willing to protect freedom until there is nothing left of it.
-Heinar Kipphardt
"In der Sache J. Robert Oppenheimer"
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
-Nelson Mandela
Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.
-Ronald Reagan
When we awaken to our truth, we realize we are free.

"Journey to One: A Woman's Story of Emotional Healing and Spiritual Awakening"
The greatest freedom is to be obedient and faithful to God. As we yield ourselves to God’s love and mercy, we are liberated from the suffering of sins. No longer are we dominated by unreasonable fears, compulsions and addictions. We live in peace and unity with all people. Despair and rage pass away.
Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Love and freedom are such hideous words. So many cruelties have been done in their name.
-Joseph O'connor
"Star of the Sea"
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.
A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
