Quotations
Freedom
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.
-Jim Morrison
I am so happy in your happiness. To you, happiness is a form of freedom, and of all the people I know you should be free.
-Khalil Gibran
Freedom is not an individual effort.
Yours comes only when you grant others theirs
-Sergio Aragonés
"The Groo Chronicles"
Freedom cannot be labeled nor won nor envied. Only when one doesn't realize what freedom is, is one truly free.
-D. J. Niko
"The Tenth Saint: Book One"

Either man is wholly determined or else man is wholly free.
