This is my right
A right given by God
To live a free life
To live in freedom

PAUL MCCARTNEY

---

Freedom, we're gonna ring the bell
Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
Freedom, raise your fist and yell

ALICE COOPER

---

Freedom to reject is the only freedom.

SALMAN RUSHDIE

---

For those who have it, freedom is like oxygen, it's something we just have. Many will not understand just how precious either is until they are at risk of losing it.

JOHN DUTCHER

---

Any existence deprived of freedom is a kind of death.

MICHEL AOUN

---

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

JAMES BALDWIN

---

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

WILLIAM PITT

---

The human cry for freedom is like the wind, when it starts blowing people can sniff it. All the powers of the world are afraid of it. The powers can build prisons, grow armies, police and kill all they want. But the buildings will fall to sand, the armies will melt away while the breeze just keeps on blowing.

BILL CREWS

---

It is like living among snow-capped peaks with clouds wrapped around them and the sun and moon starkly shining over them... Aloneness becomes their companion, their spiritual consort, part of their being. Wherever they go they are alone, whatever they do they are alone. Whether they relate socially with friends or meditate alone ... aloneness is there all the time. That aloneness is freedom, fundamental freedom.

CHOGYAM TRUNGPA

---

Man's freedom is relative and it cannot be held solely responsible for the imperfection of his nature.

SRI AUROBINDO

---

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

ALBERT EINSTEIN

---

Saying that you reject socialism because you love freedom is like saying you reject chocolate because you hate bananas.

CHANA O'LEARY

---

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

WILHELM REICH

---

Love of country follows from the exercise of its freedoms, not from pride in its fleets or its armies.

LEWIS H. LAPHAM

---

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

---

Heaven's blessing must attend all, and freedom must soon be given to the pining millions under a ruthless bondage.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS

---

Freedom is the fundamental condition for any growth.

ERICH FROMM

---

For one to be free there must be at least two. Freedom signifies a social relation, an asymmetry of social conditions: essentially it implies social difference--it presumes and implies the presence of social division. Some can be free only in so far as there is a form of dependence they can aspire to escape.

ZYGMUNT BAUMAN

---

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

WALT DISNEY

---

I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.

JAMES MADISON
