"My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut"
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"
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
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"
Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric.
-Thomas Sowell
"Knowledge And Decisions"
So long as the state exists there is no freedom. When there is freedom, there will be no state.
-Vladimir Lenin
Either man is wholly determined or else man is wholly free.
