Jim Morrison. "The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on and individual level. It's got to happen inside first. You can take away a man's political freedom and you won't hurt him- unless you take away his freedom to feel. That can destroy him. That kind of freedom can't be granted. Nobody can win it for you."
People who want to be free and live life to the fullest without infringing on any one else's good time.
Malcolm X. "You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom."
People who thrive on exploring boundaries, testing the limits and raising the bar. People who don't accept things at face value. People who know there's something better out there waiting for them to reach for it.
Thomas Jefferson. "No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him."
People who stand for freedom and are willing to fight for it.
Aldous Huxley. "But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin."
"In fact," said Mustapha Mond, "you're claiming the right to be unhappy."
"All right then," said the Savage defiantly, "I'm claiming the right to be unhappy."
"Not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and impotent; the right to have syphillis and cancer; the right to have too little to eat; the right to be lousy; the right to live in constant apprehension of what may happen tomorrow; the right to catch typhoid; the right to be tortured by unspeakable pains of every kind." There was a long silence.
"I claim them all," said the Savage at last.
— Brave New World
John Lennon. "We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it."
Albert Einstein. "My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."
Dylan Thomas. "Whatever talents I possess may suddenly diminish or suddenly increase. I can with ease become an ordinary fool. I may be one now. But it doesn't do to upset one's own vanity."
Jack Kerouac. "No man should go through life without once experiencing healthy, even bored solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength."
Friedrich Nietzsche. "The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad."
Mark Twain. "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first."
George Orwell. "All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting."
Ernesto "Che" Guevara. "The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall."
