Either man is wholly determined or else man is wholly free.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Quotations
Freedom
If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other.
-Carl Schurz
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"
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
-Thomas Jefferson
So long as we are brave enough to accept the consequences of our actions, no one can take away our freedom of choice.
-Mike Norton
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
Only free men can negotiate, prisoners cannot enter into contracts.
-Nelson Mandela
Ignorance is ultimately the worst enemy of a people who want to be free.
-Jonathan Hennessey
"The United States Constitution: A Graphic Adaptation"
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
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
-Sigmund Freud
"Civilization and Its Discontents"
