Freedom

Famous quotes containing the word freedom:

“Only very slowly and late have men come to realize that unless freedom is universal it is only extended privilege.”

But if he had assayed it,
Then all perquer he should it wit;
And should think freedom more to prize
Than all the gold in world that is.”

“The only freedom supposed to be left to the masses is that of grazing on the ration of simulacra the system distributes to each individual.”
