Famous quotes containing the words breaking and/or free:
“With their ever breaking newness
And their courage to be new.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Do we call this the land of the free? What is it to be free from King George and continue the slaves of King Prejudice? What is it to be born free and not to live free? What is the value of any political freedom, but as a means to moral freedom? Is it a freedom to be slaves, or a freedom to be free, of which we boast?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
