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.

Quotations
Freedom
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
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
The greatest freedom is to be obedient and faithful to God. As we yield ourselves to God’s love and mercy, we are liberated from the suffering of sins. No longer are we dominated by unreasonable fears, compulsions and addictions. We live in peace and unity with all people. Despair and rage pass away.
-A Spiritual Leader "Bishop Joseph"
If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.
-Malcolm X
Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.
-William Allen White
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
-Sigmund Freud
"Civilization and Its Discontents"
Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
-Jim Morrison
Freedom is limited by the need to coexist.
-Toba Beta
"My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut"
Freedom cannot be labeled nor won nor envied. Only when one doesn't realize what freedom is, is one truly free.
