The fact is that we don't want to be free. What is responsible for our problems is the fear of losing what we have and what we know.

On n'est pas libre tant qu'on désire, qu'on veut, qu'on craint, peut-être tant qu'on vit.

But here’s the truth: the ultimate thing that stops most of us from making significant progress in our lives is not somebody else’s limitations, but rather our own limiting perceptions or beliefs.

Until we are all free, we are none of us free.

We are free till we make choices. After that, the choice controls us and we have no more choice.

No one is truly free, they are a slave to wealth, fortune, the law, or other people restraining them from acting according to their will.

Most people are not really free. They are confined by the niche in the world that they carve out for themselves. They limit themselves to fewer possibilities by the narrowness of their vision.

Any time you beg another man to set you free, you will never be free. Freedom is something that you have to do for yourselves.

Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.

You can choose to be free , but it's last decision you'll ever make

Who imprisoned me here? Who keeps me here? Who can release me? Who's controlling and constraining my life except...me?

There are no choices without personal freedom, Buckeroo. It's not us who are dead inside. These things you find so weak and contemptible in us — -these are just the hazards of being free.

Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice... No one can prevent you from being aware of each step you take or each breath in and breath out.

It has been said in this courtroom that only a human being can be free. It seems to me that only someone who wishes for freedom can be free. I wish for freedom.
