Quotations
Freedom
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"
Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.
-Albert Camus
Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.

Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.
-Theodor W. Adorno
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"
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb.
-Anonymous
When faith in our freedom gives way to fear of our freedom, silencing the minority view becomes the operative protocol.
-Joel Salatin
"Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal: War Stories from the Local Food Front"
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
