Quotations
Freedom
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
- Thomas Jefferson
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
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
Open up, create free space; release the bound one from his bonds! Like a newborn child, freed from the womb, be free to move on every path!
- Vedas
Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.

If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other.

We gain freedom when we have paid the full price for our right to live.
