Quotations
Freedom
Freedom is from within.
-Frank Lloyd Wright
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
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"
Freedom is not doing what we want, but what we should.
-Victor Manuel Rivera

Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.

Freedom is realizing you have a choice.
-T. F. Hodge
"From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph Over Death and Conscious Encounters with The Divine Presence"

So long as the state exists there is no freedom. When there is freedom, there will be no state.
