HUNTER S. THOMPSON

Modern European and American history is centered around the effort to gain freedom from the political, economic, and spiritual shackles that have bound men. The battles for freedom where fought by the oppressed, those who wanted new liberties, against those who had privileges to defend. While a class was fighting for its own liberation from domination, it believed itself to be fighting for human freedom as such and thus was able to appeal to an ideal, to the longing for freedom rooted in all who are oppressed. In the long and virtually continuous battle for freedom, however, classes that were fighting against oppression at one stage sided with the enemies of freedom when victory was won and new privileges were to be defended.

Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
Freedom, raise your fist and yell

Bonds of freedom
That's what I'm selling
Any bonds today?

OSHO

For those who have it, freedom is like oxygen, it's something we just have. Many will not understand just how precious either is until they are at risk of losing it.

JOHN DUTCHER

---

Man is born free and is everywhere in chains.

PETER CAREY

---

Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.

JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU

The human cry for freedom is like the wind, when it starts blowing people can sniff it. All the powers of the world are afraid of it. The powers can build prisons, grow armies, police and kill all they want. But the buildings will fall to sand, the armies will melt away while the breeze just keeps on blowing.

BILL CREWS

---

The anchor in our world today is freedom, holding us steady in times of change, a symbol of hope to all the world.
