Quotes About Freedom

Estamos portanto no ponto paradoxal em que as massas se recusam ao batismo do social, que é ao mesmo tempo o do sentido e da liberdade. Não fazemos delas uma nova e gloriosa referência. Porque elas não existem.
~ Jean Baudrillard
Performance. Divestiture of humans and their freedom. Disqualification of humans in favor of automatism, a massive transfer of decision-making to computerized devices. A symbolic capitulation, a defeat of the will much more serious than any physical impairment. Sacrifizio dell'intelletto, della volunta, dell'immaginazione.
~ Jean Baudrillard
Against the hypothesis of uncertainty: the illusion of truth and reality. Against the hypothesis of destiny: the illusion of freedom. Against the hypothesis of evil [Mal]: the illusion of misfortune [malheur]. Against the hypothesis of thought, the illusion of Artificial Intelligence. Against the hypothesis of the event: the illusion of information. Against the hypothesis of becoming: the illusion of change.
~ Jean Baudrillard
Çocuklar bir yanda özerk, sorumlu, özgür ve bilinçli varl?klar olmak zorundayken öte yandan boyun eÄŸmek, tepki göstermemek, itaat etmek ve kurallara uymak zorundad?rlar. Çocuk, bütün bu alanlarda mücadele etmek durumundad?r. ÖrneÄŸin, uymak zorunda kald??? çeliÅŸkili bir mecburiyete ikili bir stratejiyle kar?? koymaktad?r.
~ Jean Baudrillard
Freedom, will, responsibility - to sweep away all these categories, as it was necessary to sweep away those of soul, sin, immortality and the concepts of heaven and hell to deliver ourselves from the religious and the feudal.
~ Jean Baudrillard
The proof of how poorly grounded freedom is is that depriving someone of their freedom itself no longer means anything. Impossible to find an equivalence between the crime and the punishment or, therefore, any possible 'justice'. Given the extension of responsibility and its ramification into all networks, the irresponsibility is the same everywhere.
~ Jean Baudrillard
Tu dis que tu aimes les fleurs et tu leur coupes la queue, tu dis que tu aimes les chiens et tu leur mets une laisse, tu dis que tu aimes les oiseaux et tu les mets en cage, tu dis que tu m'aimes alors moi j'ai peur.
~ Jean Cocteau
Classifiable things reek of death. You must strike out in other spheres . . . quit the ranks. That's the sign of masterpieces and heroes. An original, that's the person to astonish and to rule.
~ Jean Cocteau
Wer mein Haus betreten will, der trete ein. Wem es hier gefällt, der bleibe. Ich weigere mich, etwas zu planen. Und wenn man mich fragt, was ich aus meinem Haus mitnehmen würde, wenn es brennt, antworte ich: das Feuer.
~ Jean Cocteau
Dreams resound sometimes with footsteps, mindless, purposeful, like hers; dreams lend us a gait lighter than winged flight, a step able to combine the statue's weight of inorganic marble with the subaqueous freedom of a deep-sea diver.
~ Jean Cocteau
Il faudrait apprendre à son âme à marcher pieds nus.
~ Jean Cocteau
Eu nu am nici o opinie ÅŸi nu aparÅ£in nici unui mediu.Eu m? adresez todeauna celor care se str?duiesc cu disperare s? fie liberi ÅŸi care probabil,ca ÅŸi mine,aÅŸteapt? s? fie loviÅ£i din toate p?rÅ£ile,ÅŸi asta în asemenea m?sur? încât,atunci când li se fac complimente,se întreab? dac? nu s-au f?cut vinovaÅ£i de vreo greÅŸeal?.
~ Jean Cocteau
E foarte primejdios s? vrei numai ordinea ÅŸi s? nu creezi ÅŸi un fel de dezordine,în care sufletul s? ÅŸtie a se descurca,în loc s? se usuce printre linii moarte.
~ Jean Cocteau

Better to run to the woods than the city, I thought. Here, there is the world to occupy the mind.
~ Jean Craighead George
Nous sommes trop vêtus de villes et de murs. Nous avons trop l'habitude de nous voir sous notre forme antinaturelle... Nous ne savons plus que nous sommes des animaux libres...
~ Jean Giono
Our wisdom is slavish prejudice, our customs consist in control, constraint, compulsion. Civilised man is born and dies a slave. The infant is bound up in swaddling clothes, the corpse is nailed down in his coffin. All his life long man is imprisoned by our institutions.
~ Jean Jacques Rousseau
All ran to meet their chains thinking they secured their freedom, for although they had enough reason to feel the advantages of political establishment, they did not have enough experience to foresee its dangers.
~ Jean Jacques Rousseau
Liberty can be obtained, it cannot be regained.
~ Jean Jacques Rousseau
I believe compulsory labor is less opposed to liberty than taxes.
~ Jean Jacques Rousseau
L'homme est né libre, et partout il est dans les fers.
~ Jean Jacques Rousseau
Perché l'impulso del solo appetito è schiavitù, e l'obbedienza alla legge che noi stessi ci siamo dati è libertà.
~ Jean Jacques Rousseau
