11 Quotes: about freedom:
I was determined to achieve the total freedom that our history lessons taught us we were entitled to, no matter what the sacrifice.
– Rosa Parks
Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right.
– Ghandi
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
– Robert A. Heinlein
