“True freedom isn’t limited by partiality or favoritism for one over the other. It’s freedom for all or it isn’t freedom at all.”
“I don’t understand you. You could have handed over the slave and been free. (Paden)Freedom bought on the back of a loved one isn’t worth shit. (Devyn)”
“Real freedom is freedom from the opinions of others. Above all, freedom from your opinions about yourself. ”
“A freedom which is interested only in denying freedom must be denied. And it is not true that the recognition of the freedom of others limits my own freedom: to be free is not to have the power to do anything you like; it is to be able to surpass the given toward an open future; the existence of others as a freedom defines my situation and is even the condition of my own freedom. I am oppressed if I am thrown into prison, but not if I am kept from throwing my neighbor into prison.”
“Love consists of a commitment which limits one's freedom - it is a giving of the self, and to give oneself means just that: to limit one's freedom on behalf of another.”
“And no practical definition of freedom would be complete without the freedom to take the consequences. Indeed, it is the freedom upon which all the others are based.”
