Freedom

Famous quotes containing the word freedom:

“Suppose that humans happen to be so constructed that they desire the opportunity for freely undertaken productive work. Suppose that they want to be free from the meddling of technocrats and commissars, bankers and tycoons, mad bombers who engage in psychological tests of will with peasants defending their homes, behavioral scientists who can’t tell a pigeon from a poet, or anyone else who tries to wish freedom and dignity out of existence or beat them into oblivion.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

“Until you’ve lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was or what freedom really is.”
—Margaret Mitchell (1900–1949)

“None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but licence.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
