“I fight for the freedom that we all have as human beings. The freedom to live the way we want,the freedom to choose our leaders,the freedom my father and hundreds of others have died to protect.”
“We wanted the freedom to love. We wanted the freedom to choose. Now we have to fight for it.”
“That's all the freedom we can hope for - the freedom to choose our prison.”
“The modern West has been deeply split about freedom and responsibility. On the one hand, it has championed human freedom in many forms - human rights, sexual freedom, political liberty, freedom to choose in many spheres. On the other hand, many of its most intelligent members have not believed that people are free at all, and have devoted great efforts to show that really we are the product of our genes, our unconscious drives, our education, economic pressures, or other forms of conditioning.”
“The liberty that the Band of Brothers fought for was not a freedom to do whatever we want whenever we want, but rather a freedom from tyranny, a freedom of self-determination, a freedom to make something of our lives.”
“You don't have to be a man to fight for freedom. All you have to do is to be an intelligent human being.”
