Quotations
Freedom
Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.
-Ronald Reagan
The amount of "freedom" with which you are living your life, can be determined
by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
-Deep Trivedi
Without Freedom or Liberty, creativity cannot exist.
-Richard Diaz
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"
Only free men can negotiate, prisoners cannot enter into contracts.
-Nelson Mandela
If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
-Jean Paul Sartre
We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
-William Faulkner
