liberty

If you can convince people that freedom is injustice, they will then believe that slavery is freedom.

When people have invested their identities into clichés, the only counter argument they have is 'being offended'.

A person whose desires and impulses are his own__re the expression of his own nature, as it has been developed and modified by his own culture__s said to have a character. One whose desires and impulses are not his own, has no character, no more than a steam-engine has character_

When you are silent on the truth, you have given a transport fare for the lie to travel and spread fast.

If you are going to hide yourself and you will not stand against the work of the bad people, you have given them an endorsement.

When liberators hide their liberty tools, injustice prevails. True leaders intervene by dealing with injustice before it passes puberty.

SCREW CHILDREN! That's the mantra of the world. Instead of burying them with a national debt, shoving them in shitty schools, drugging them if they don't comply, hitting them, yelling at them, indoctrinating them with religion and statism and patriotism and military worship, what if we just did what was right for them? The whole world is built on "screw children", and if we changed that, this would be an alien planet to us.

Distraction serves evil more than any other mental state.

It is easy to be conspicuously 'compassionate' if others are being forced to pay the cost.

Liberation begins with liberation of mind, soul and body.

The truth shall set your soul free.

I passionately love liberty, legality, respect for rights, but not democracy. That is what I find in the depth of my soul.

Socrates: Have you noticed on our journey how often the citizens of this new land remind each other it is a free country? Plato: I have, and think it odd they do this.Socrates: How so, Plato?Plato: It is like reminding a baker he is a baker, or a sculptor he is asculptor.Socrates: You mean to say if someone is convinced of their trade, they haveno need to be reminded.Plato: That is correct.Socrates: I agree. If these citizens were convinced of their freedom, they would not need reminders.

If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.

The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end.

We ask no sympathy from others in the anxiety and agony of a __roken friendship or shattered love. When death sunders our nearest_ ties, alone we sit in the shadow of our affliction. Alike mid the greatest __riumphs and darkest tragedies of life we walk alone. On the divine __eights of human attainments, eulogized and worshiped as a hero or __aint, we stand alone. In ignorance, poverty, and vice, as a pauper or __riminal, alone we starve or steal; alone we suffer the sneers and rebuffs__f our fellows; alone we are hunted and hounded through dark courts__nd alleys, in by-ways and highways; alone we stand in the judgment_ seat; alone in the prison cell we lament our crimes and misfortunes; alone we expiate them on the gallows. In hours like these we realize the __wful solitude of individual life, its pains, its penalties, its responsibilities; hours in which the youngest and most helpless are thrown on their own resources for guidance and consolation. Seeing then that life must ever be a march and a battle, that each soldier must be equipped for his own protection, it is the height of cruelty to rob the individual of a single natural right.

Women often find great roles in revolution, simply because the rules fall apart and everyone has agency, anyone can act. As they did in Egypt, where liberty leading the masses was an earnest young woman in a black hijab.

Chastity ... has, even now, a religious importance in a woman's life, and has so wrapped itself round with nerves and instincts that to cut it free and bring it to the light of day demands courage of the rarest.
