Freedom

Famous quotes containing the word freedom:

    Bodhidharma sailing the Yangtze on a reed
    Lenin in a sealed train through Germany
    Hsuan Tsang, crossing the Pamirs
    Joseph, Crazy Horse, living the last free
    starving high-country winter of their tribes.
    Surrender into freedom revolt into slavery—
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    Tyranny destroys or strengthens the individual; freedom enervates him, until he becomes no more than a puppet. Man has more chances of saving himself by hell than by paradise.
    E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)

    What most clearly characterizes true freedom and its true employment is its misemployment.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
