Freedom Quotes Quotes

“In a job you trade your freedom and time for money.”

“Try not to remember the people you're supposed to forget. That way you set a prisoner free. That prisoner is not the person you're setting free; the prisoner is you.”

“Freedom can be forgotten in the repressive countries. To remember freedom, it will be enough to watch a happy seagull flying in the sky!”

“When love invades your life, it captures your heart, imprisons your mind, and frees your soul.”

“Wisps of white mist trailed across Thunderbolt's tremendous wings as the three runaways broke through the low-hanging fog that separated the city from the sky. As they settled into a smooth glide above the clouds, Ember turned her face into the wind and took a long, deep breath of the sweet, fresh, wild open air. It tasted like freedom.”

“Curtains are our prisoners; they feel free only when they escape out of the windows and fly in the air freely! The moment they wave in the wind like a proud flag is the best moment of their lives!”

“When it is impossible to stretch the very elastic threads of historical ratiocination any farther, when actions are clearly contrary to all that humanity calls right or even just, the historians produce a saving conception of "greatness." "Greatness," it seems, excludes the standards of right and wrong. For the "great" man nothing is wrong, there is no atrocity for which a "great" man can be blamed. "C'est grand!"* say the historians, and there no longer exists either good or evil but only "grand" and "not grand." Grand is good, not grand is bad. Grand is the characteristic, in their conception, of some special animals called "heroes." And Napoleon, escaping home in a warm fur coat and leaving to perish those who were not merely his comrades but were (in his opinion) men he had brought there, feels que c'est grand, and his soul is tranquil. peating: "Sublime! Grand! Napoleon le Grand!" Du sublime au ridicule il n'y a qu'un pas.("From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step.") And it occurs to no one that to admit a greatness not commensurable with the standard of right and wrong is merely to admit one's own nothingness and immeasurable meanness. For us with the standard of good and evil given us by Christ, no human actions are incommensurable. And there is no greatness where simplicity, goodness, and truth are absent.”

“In every nation’s history time comes to behave like wild horses, to refuse any kind of authority which tries to eliminate your freedom!”
