Quotations
Freedom
If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
-John F. Kennedy
"Kennedy's Inaugural address of 1961."
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"
Liberty: One of Imagination's most precious possessions.

-Joseph O'connor
"Star of the Sea"
My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.

Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
