I do not understand a man who does not want to know all that he can know. Why would anyone choose ignorance? If he chooses ignorance because he is lay, then he is a fool, for the ignorant are put to hard labor digging and hauling stones for masters w...
Should he give free reign to his desires, the bibliomaniac can ruin his life along with the lives of his loved ones. He'll often take better care of his books than of his own health; he'll spend more on fiction than he does on food; he'll be more int...
Whatever talent a person has should be dedicated to the rest of humanity - indeed to all living beings. Therein lies fulfillment. All men are kin. They are of the same likeness, the same build, molded out of the same material, with the same divine es...
Sometimes you just don't know what's going to happen, exactly. And that's because sometimes you just don't have control over circumstances in your life. The amazing thing is that— it is during these times that we free-fall through the sky! All we h...
Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place. It is not to bring men and women over to our side, but to offer freedom not disturbed by dividing lines. It is not to lead our neighbor into a corner where ther...
How, in such an alien and inhuman world, can so powerless a creature as man preserve his aspirations untarnished? A strange mystery it is that nature, omnipotent but blind, in the revolutions of her secular hurryings through the abysses of space, has...
A Paradise for you and me Trust, true love to guide us free Loneliness shall not fill the day I will forever be with you Our Love is beautiful like the sunshine lighting the way Your gentle feel Your caring hands There is no doubt in your soul No eer...
Hans Rolfe: I'll make you a wager... Judge Dan Haywood: I don't make wagers. Hans Rolfe: [chuckles] A gentleman's wager... in five years, the men you sentenced to life imprisonment will be free. Judge Dan Haywood: Herr Rolfe, I have admired your work...
[last lines] Aibileen Clark: In just ten minutes, the only life I knew was done. Mae Mobley: [calling after her through the window] A-a-a-aibee! Aibileen Clark: God says we need to love our enemies. It hard to do. But it can start by telling the trut...
The master no longer says: You will think as I do or die. He says: You are free not to think as I do. You may keep your life, your property, and everything else. But from this day forth you shall be as a stranger among us. You will retain your civic ...
If questioning would make us wise No eyes would ever gaze in eyes; If all our tale were told in speech No mouths would wander each to each. Were spirits free from mortal mesh And love not bound in hearts of flesh No aching breasts would yearn to meet...
You want to be free. You also want to be mine. You can't be both.
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free
It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.
But there’s no such thing as free. There are only different and more horrible ways to be enslaved.
Patience is produced in the midst of storms; it blossoms under the intense pressures of the storms.
Confess your sins, pray towards the Heavens and be set free from all bondages.
My attitude is, do as much as I can while I'm free. And if I'm arrested I'll still do as much as I can.

I'm free from holding personal anger because I can express what I want through my music.
