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"
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"
I am so happy in your happiness. To you, happiness is a form of freedom, and of all the people I know you should be free.
-Khalil Gibran
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"
I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
-Bob Dylan
Freedom is only the freedom to say no.
-Jean Paul Sartre
