Quotations
Freedom
There is only one good definition of God: the freedom that allows other freedoms to exist.
-John Fowles
"The French Lieutenant's Woman "
The only way to achieve freedom is to free your mind from the world we live in.
-Salvatore Palladino
Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward.
-Patricia Sampson
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
We gain freedom when we have paid the full price for our right to live.
-Rabindranath Tagore
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
We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
-William Faulkner
"Essays, Speeches & Public Letters"
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
-Sigmund Freud
"Civilization and Its Discontents"
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"
