Quotes About Liberty

Özgürlük her ÅŸeyden üstündür (Das Attentat, p. 79).
~ Harry Mulisch
How many dawns, chill from his rippling rest The seagull's wings shall dip and pivot him, Shedding white rings of tumult, building high Over the chained bay waters Liberty— Then, with inviolate curve, forsake our eyes As apparitional as sails that cross Some page of figures to be filed away; —Till elevators drop us from our day ...

They were unmasked now, I saw them all for what they were, little sons and daughters of the eternal poor, the Lumpenproletariat, made only for slavery, for continued slavery. They wanted 'liberty' for everyone, in the abstract, but they couldn't give full liberty to anyone to act on his own!
~ Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Liberty in cyberspace will not come from the absence of the state. Liberty there, as anywhere, will come from a state of a certain kind. We build a world where freedom can flourish not by removing from society any self-conscious control, but by setting it in a place where a particular kind of self-conscious control survives. We build liberty as our founders did, by setting society upon a certain constitution.
~ Lawrence Lessig

Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the knownothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.
~ le guin ursula k v
Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias.
~ Learned Hand
The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias.
~ Learned Hand
1. The hand that rules the press, the radio, the screen and the far-spread magazine, rules the country. 2. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right.
~ Learned Hand
Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it.... While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it.
~ Learned Hand, jurist
We hold our heads high, despite the price we have paid, because freedom is priceless.

The hope of the nation which throughout the nineteenth century had not for a moment reconciled itself with the loss of independence, and fighting for its own freedom, fought at the same time for the freedom of other nations.
~ Lech Walesa
the world learned that Lady Liberty will shove her torch of freedom up your ass if you fuck with us.

I'm not alone, I'm free. I no longer have to be a credit, I don't have to be a symbol to anybody I don't have to be a first to anybody.
