-Theodor W. Adorno
Quotations
Freedom
Without Freedom or Liberty, creativity cannot exist.
-Richard Diaz
Bondage is of the mind; freedom too is of the mind. If you say ‘I am a free soul. I am a son of God who can bind me' free you shall be.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
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"
Only free men can negotiate, prisoners cannot enter into contracts.
-Nelson Mandela
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
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
Freedom is not an individual effort.
Yours comes only when you grant others theirs
-Sergio Aragonés
"The Groo Chronicles"
Freedom is limited by the need to coexist.
-Toba Beta
