“For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”

“Freedom of mind is the real freedom. A person whose mind is not free though he may not be in chains, is a slave, not a free man. One whose mind is not free, though he may not be in prison, is a prisoner and not a free man. One whose mind is not free though alive, is no better than dead. Freedom of mind is the proof of one's existence.”

“A man can live free and not seek to limit the freedom of others so long as no one seeks to limit his.”

“There is of course a difference between flying and flying. For some it is merely a way of moving, for others it represents freedom.”

“To read, when one does so of one's own free will, is to make a volitional statement, to cast a vote; it is to posit an elsewhere and to set off toward it.”

“Freedom is indivisible; the chains on any one of my people were the chains on all of them, the chains on all of my people were the chains on me.”
