Quotations
Freedom
Either man is wholly determined or else man is wholly free.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.
-Bob Marley
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"
I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
-Bob Dylan
Love and freedom are such hideous words. So many cruelties have been done in their name.
-Joseph O'connor
"Star of the Sea"

-Ronald Reagan
We gain freedom when we have paid the full price for our right to live.
-Rabindranath Tagore
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
