Quotations
Freedom
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Until we are all free, we are none of us free.
-Emma Lazarus
Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Either man is wholly determined or else man is wholly free.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
-Sigmund Freud
"Civilization and Its Discontents"
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"
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-Benjamin Franklin
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"
Open up, create free space; release the bound one from his bonds! Like a newborn child, freed from the womb, be free to move on every path!
-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
