Quote

Human freedom is not an illusion; it is an objective phenomenon, distinct from all other biological conditions and found in only one species - us.

Human beings crave freedom at their core.

Human beings want to be free and however long they may agree to stay locked up, to stay oppressed, there will come a time when they say 'That's it.' Suddenly they find themselves doing something that they never would have thought they would be doing, simply because of the human instinct that makes them turn their face towards freedom.

Freedom comes from strength and self-reliance.

Freedom begins as we become conscious of it.

Freedom is man's capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mold ourselves.

To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves.

Freedom is a human concept. We have these very romanticized, sentimentalized notions of freedom. And for species - monkeys and other creatures - freedom is a pretty risky, complex proposition that's not always for their benefit.

We are gifted with freedom, but with that freedom comes the reality of the unknown and the responsibility to be aware of our surroundings and on guard against those who would do us harm.

Freedom means the opportunity to be what we never thought we would be.
