Freedom

Let me be a free man - free to travel, free to stop, free to work.

Live free or die.

We may not have sewage, drinking water, and Olympic gold medals, but we do have democracy.

The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

People are free to find out the best and the worst of me!

A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper.

In America, writers are afforded the freedom to express themselves in unlimited manners. Creative liberty is a privilege.

Lies cannot nourish or protect you. Only freedom from fear, freedom from lies, can make us beautiful, and keep us safe.

Poetry is the way that we transcend language through language. And thus our freedom lies in the poetry of all things.

Take down the walls.

The novel is the privileged vehicle of two ways of being: narrative and freedom: to be new (novel) in a speech open to all, and to be free in a speech that never concludes.

America, and all it had once stood for--all he had fought for--was dying...On life support, and counting.

Independence means.. Enjoying freedom and empowering others too to let them do so.

It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies.

Fight vigorously against the wolves, but on behalf of the sheep, not against the sheep. And this you may do by inveighing against the laws and lawgivers, and yet at the same time observing these laws with the weak, lest they be offended, until they shall themselves recognize the tyranny, and understand their own liberty.

In rock and roll, homosexuality was accepted, but it was less cool to say it.

Tyranny is always better organized than freedom.

What I find most interesting about the U.S. Is this idea of equality. That's what I'm trying to do with immigration. If what the founding fathers said is true, that we are all equal, then let's fight for that.

Individual events. Events beyond law. Events so numerous and so uncoordinated that, flaunting their freedom from formula, they yet fabricate firm form.
