No person can do this or that to keep another from being truly free. We are always free. Even if imprisoned.

Quotations
Freedom
I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
-Bob Dylan
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.
-Carl Schurz
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
Freedom begins the moment you realize someone else has been writing your story and it's time you took the pen from his hand and started writing it yourself.
-Bill Moyers
Freedom is the ultimate dignity of a human being, please handle it with utmost
care. Neither should you interfere in anyone's life nor let any person, religion,
society or scripture intervene in your life. Because...you are unique and the
only one of your kind. No one like you has ever been born before nor would be.
Hence, your only duty as a human being is to safeguard yourself against all and
make the journey of your life a truly memorable one.
-Deep Trivedi
Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.
-William Allen White
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"
Freedom is not an individual effort.
Yours comes only when you grant others theirs
-Sergio Aragonés
"The Groo Chronicles"
If we sincerely want to become a liberated person, then we have to be willing to be independent in a world where so few truly think for themselves.
-Andrew Cohen "Andrew Cohen"
