6 quotes

I write for a certain idea of freedom, truth and human dignity.

The struggle for freedom requires, first and foremost, a practical commitment.

The only freedom we have left is to choose whose orders to follow.

I shall write to you in complete freedom, and I hope you will answer me with the same candour.

The absence of freedom is a pain that eventually drives people mad. It reduces a person to a shadow of themselves.

The fact is, defenders of freedom almost always end up in the dock, and the censors are justified in their ways. It is a vicious circle.
