Quotations
Freedom
Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose - and commit myself to - what is best for me.
- Paulo Coelho
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
When faith in our freedom gives way to fear of our freedom, silencing the minority view becomes the operative protocol.
- Joel Salatin
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
Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.
- Bob Marley
There are people who are willing to protect freedom until there is nothing left of it.
- Heinar Kipphardt
Most people would look at an animal in a cage and instinctively feel that it should be set free. . . . It's a dangerous world out there, filled with predators. . . . What would you prefer? A comfortable, safe, warm, cosy life in a cage, or an uncertain life of freedom.
- Scarlett Thomas
Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.
- Theodor W. Adorno
...true freedom is impossible without a mind made free by discipline.
- Mortimer Jerome Adler
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
- Sigmund Freud
