Freedom

The land of the free has elections next Tuesday. What about the state and quality of freedom in this country? Given its huge challenges and the many tasks that the next president face may make us think about how freedom will be affected. Some helpful inspiration:

"Freedom is the oxygen of the soul." [Moshe Dayan]


"Freedom is the will to be responsible to ourselves." [Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols, 1888]

"My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular." [Adlai Stevenson, speech, Detroit, 1952]

"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." [Abraham Lincoln]

"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security" [Benjamin Franklin]

"None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free." [Goethe]

"Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently." [Rosa Luxemburg]
