We had many books and pictures... my parents' way of life doubtless left a lasting impression on me. They created an atmosphere in which a certain kind of freedom could exist. This may well account for my seeking a related sense of liberty as I grew up.

I grew up with too much freedom. You can't define yourself.

I think that what I have been truly searching for as a person, as a writer, as a thinker, as a daughter, is freedom. That is my mission. A sense of liberty, the liberty that comes not only from self-awareness but also from letting go of many things. Many things that weigh us down.

I was intelligent enough to make up my own mind. I not only had freedom of choice, I had freedom of expression.

The world is full of people who have never, since childhood, met an open doorway with an open mind.

I admit my view of the world is colored by my legal and business experiences at Liberty.

The libertarian worship of individual freedom, and contempt for social convention, comes easiest to people who have never really had to grow up.

I made my own assessment of my life, and I began to live it. That was freedom.

Others indeed may talk, and write, and fight about liberty, and make an outward pretence to it; but the free-thinker alone is truly free.
