Freedom Quotes
Presidents are over-represented here. George W. Bush has the most entries, ahead of Thomas Jefferson and John F. Kennedy, which says more about how often presidents talk about freedom than about how well they put it. The better writing tends to be elsewhere: Madison in the Federalist Papers (1787), Hannah Arendt in The Human Condition (1958), Dalí in his diary.
Two of the most repeated freedom quotes are flagged. “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” is credited to Voltaire. Evelyn Beatrice Hall wrote it in The Friends of Voltaire (1906), as a summary of his views. “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance” is credited to Jefferson, but nobody has found it in his writings. The closest early version is by John Philpot Curran, in a speech of 1790.
Freedom is the right to be wrong, not the right to do wrong.
If someone claims to have free will, ask them, "free from precisely what?"
The struggle for liberation was terrible. We were bruised and wounded by colonialism.
Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Legally, the term liberty means absence of duty, or rather the limit of duty.
Master and slave wear the yoke together. Anarchy is the only true freedom.
If I forget, then it might as well never have happened. Memory is liberty.
