Quotations
Freedom
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"
Freedom is only the freedom to say no.
-Jean Paul Sartre
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
The only way to achieve freedom is to free your mind from the world we live in.
-Salvatore Palladino
Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.
-Theodor W. Adorno
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"
The greatest freedom is to be obedient and faithful to God. As we yield ourselves to God’s love and mercy, we are liberated from the suffering of sins. No longer are we dominated by unreasonable fears, compulsions and addictions. We live in peace and unity with all people. Despair and rage pass away.
-A Spiritual Leader "Bishop Joseph"
Nobody objected to live in prison
if already felt comfortable living in it.
-Toba Beta
"Master of Stupidity"
Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.
-Henry David Thoreau
