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

PAUL MCCARTNEY

---

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

---

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

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

---

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

---

True freedom is to share
All the chains our brothers wear

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL

---

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

ALICE COOPER

---

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

WILHELM REICH

---

Any existence deprived of freedom is a kind of death.

MICHEL AOUN

---

Since freedom is not a fixed thing that can be grasped and held once for all, but a growth, any particular society, such as our own, always appears partly free and partly unfree. In so far as it favors, in every child, the development of his highest possibilities, it is free, but where it falls short of this it is not.

CHARLES HORTON COOLEY

---

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

---

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

WALT DISNEY

---

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

ALBERT EINSTEIN

---

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

---

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

---

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

JAMES BALDWIN

---

Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization.

CHARLES LINDBERGH

---

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

LEWIS H. LAPHAM

---

The most certain test by which we judge whether a country is really free is the amount of security enjoyed by minorities.

LORD ACTON

---

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

---

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
