Free State

Famous quotes containing the words free and/or state:

“If I had not come to America, where I felt free to formulate tentatively insights at which I had empathically arrived, I would have accomplished very little. I would never have begun to publish, to teach, to undertake research. Because if one does not find an assenting echo to one’s ideas, if one is passed over, as I was in Vienna, then one cannot create. To create, after all, is to believe that what one says will count.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)

“While the State exists there can be no freedom; when there is freedom there will be no State.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
