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

ALICE COOPER

---

Freedom is something that dies unless it's used.

HUNTER S. THOMPSON

---

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

---

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

---

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

CHANA O'LEARY

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

WILLIAM PITT

---

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

WILHELM REICH

---

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

SRI AUROBINDO

---

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

LEWIS H. LAPHAM

---

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

---

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

JAMES BALDWIN

---

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

ALBERT EINSTEIN

---

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

---

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

---

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

---

Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization.

CHARLES LINDBERGH

---

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

WALT DISNEY

---

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