Freedom is the fundamental condition for any growth.

ERICH FROMM

---

For nothing is more unbearable, once one has it, than freedom.

JAMES BALDWIN

---

Mistaking insolence for freedom has always been the hallmark of the slave.

WILHELM REICH

---

Without total freedom, every perception, every objective regard, is twisted. It is only the man who is totally free who can look and understand immediately. Freedom implies really, doesn't it, the total emptying of the mind. Completely to empty the whole content of the mind--that is real freedom. Freedom is not mere revolt from circumstances, which again breeds other circumstances, other environmental influences, which enslave the mind. We are talking about a freedom that comes naturally, easily, unasked for, when the mind is capable of functioning at its highest level.

JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI

---

The more freedom you give people to do good, the more freedom they have to do bad as well.

TAD WILLIAMS

---

Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom.

ALBERT EINSTEIN

---

Man is born free and is everywhere in chains.

PETER CAREY

---

The importance of our being free to do a particular thing has nothing to do with the question of whether we or the majority are ever likely to make use of that particular possibility. To grant no more freedom than all can exercise would be to misconceive its function completely. The freedom that will be used by only one man in a million may be more important to society and more beneficial to the majority than any freedom that we all use.

FRIEDRICH HAYEK

---

Freedom (n.): To ask nothing. To expect nothing. To depend on nothing.

AYN RAND

---

The cry for freedom is a sign of suppression. It will not cease to ring as long as man feels himself captive. As diverse as the cries for freedom may be, basically they all express one and the same thing: The intolerability of the rigidity of the organism and of the machine-like institutions which create a sharp conflict with the natural feelings for life. Not until there is a social order in which all cries for freedom subside will man have overcome his biological and social crippling, will he have attained genuine freedom.

WILHELM REICH

---

For every man who lives without freedom, the rest of us must face the guilt.

LILLIAN HELLMAN

---

I've read and heard a lot of unbelievable stuff about those times when people lived in freedom -- that is, in disorganized wildness.

YEVGENY ZAMYATIN

---

Freedom and not servitude is the cure of anarchy; as religion, and not atheism, is the true remedy of superstition.

EDMUND BURKE

---

I anticipate with pleasing expectations that retreat in which I promise myself to realize, without alloy, the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow citizens, the benign influence of good laws under a free government, the ever favorite object of my heart, and the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

---

True freedom is to share
All the chains our brothers wear

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL

---

Once a man has tasted freedom, he will never be content to be a slave.

WALT DISNEY

---

The unity of all who dwell in freedom is their only sure defense.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

---

Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head

U2

---

We know what works: Freedom works. We know what's right: Freedom is right. We know how to secure a more just and prosperous life for man on Earth: through free markets, free speech, free elections, and the exercise of free will unhampered by the state.

GEORGE H. W. BUSH

---

Any bonds today?
Bonds of freedom
That's what I'm selling
Any bonds today?
Scrape up the most you can
Here comes the freedom man

DUKE ELLINGTON
