Freedom is never voluntarily given
by the oppressor; it must be
demanded by the oppressed.

living?

freedom. That would be a menace to
the world and to India herself.

I am involved in a freedom ride
protesting the loss of the
minority rights belonging to the
few remaining earthbound stars.
All we demanded was our right to
twinkle.

There is no easy walk to freedom
anywhere, and many of us will have
to pass through the valley of the
shadow of death again and again
before we reach the mountaintop of
our desires.
--Nelson Mandela – South African

For to be free is not merely to

in a way that respects and
enhances the freedom of others.
--Nelson Mandela – South African

Communists have always played an
active role in the fight by
colonial countries for their
freedom, because the short-term

correspond with the long-term
objects of freedom movements.
--Nelson Mandela – South African
Statesman Born 1918
Expose yourself to your deepest
fear; after that, fear has no
power, and the fear of freedom
shrinks and vanishes. You are
free.

Punk is musical freedom. It's
saying, doing and playing what you
want. In Webster's terms,
'nirvana' means freedom from pain,
suffering and the external world,
and that's pretty close to my
definition of Punk Rock.
--Kurt Cobain – American Musician
Born 1967 Died 1994

gold. It is for the means of
freedom and benefit.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson – American

and that's individual liberty. Our
lives come from our creator and

creator. It has nothing to do with
government granting it.

Books were my pass to personal
freedom. I learned to read at age
three, and soon discovered there

Entertainer Born 1954
Most people do not really want
freedom, because freedom involves
responsibility, and most people
are frightened of responsibility.

Psychologist Born 1856 Died 1939
Every friend of freedom must be as
revolted as I am by the prospect
of turning the United States into
an armed camp, by the vision of
jails filled with casual drug
users and of an army of enforcers
empowered to invade the liberty of
citizens on slight evidence.
--Milton Friedman – American
Economist Born 1912 Died 2006
The framers of our Constitution
meant we were to have freedom of
religion, not freedom from
religion.

Freedom in capitalist society
always remains about the same as
it was in ancient Greek republics:
Freedom for slave owners.

No amount of political freedom
will satisfy the hungry masses.
--Vladimir Lenin – Russian Leader
Born 1870 Died 1924
Freedom consists not in doing what
we like, but in having the right
to do what we ought.
