Abolitionists believe that, as all men are born free, so all who are now held as slaves in this country were born free, and that they are slaves now is the sin, not of those who introduced the race into this country, but of those, and those alone, who now hold them and have held them in slavery from their birth. ~ Elijah Parish Lovejoy
Born Free quotes by Elijah Parish Lovejoy
Surely you remember the boy in your own school class who was exceptionally "bright", did most of the reciting and answering while the others sat like so many leaden idols, hating him. And wasn't it this bright boy you selected for beatings and tortures after hours? Of course it was. We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for there are no mountains to make them cower, to judge themselves against. So! A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. ~ Ray Bradbury
Born Free quotes by Ray Bradbury
It's not enough to be born free; I have to live my freedom! ~ Esther M. Friesner
Born Free quotes by Esther M. Friesner
We are born free as creatures of bliss, compassion, friendliness, innocence and curiosity. Among us, there is a tremendous love and natural belonging. Burning beneath our numbness, negativity and grief is a celebration of life and a passion for being here ~ Georgi Y. Johnson
Born Free quotes by Georgi Y. Johnson
Some are born rich
While others poor;
Some are born free
While others captives;
Some are born blessed
While others deprived;
Some are born strong
While others weak;
And some are born great
While others slaves.
It is only in this life
blessings are unequal. ~ Emmanuel Aghado
Born Free quotes by Emmanuel Aghado
'Born Free' was the first film I ever saw. I just fell in love with the idea of people having that bond with a wild animal. ~ Martin Clunes
Born Free quotes by Martin Clunes
We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for there are no mountains to make them cower, to judge themselves against. ~ Ray Bradbury
Born Free quotes by Ray Bradbury
Pawns are born free, yet they are everywhere in chains ~ Rick Kennedy
Born Free quotes by Rick Kennedy
Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than the skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one's soul; when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood. ~ Josephine Baker
Born Free quotes by Josephine Baker
Although all men are born free, slavery has been the general lot of the human race. Ignorant
they have been cheated; asleep
they have been surprised; divided
the yoke has been forced upon them. But what is the lesson ... ? The people ought to be enlightened, to be awakened, to be united, that after establishing a government they should watch over it ... It is universally admitted that a well-instructed people alone can be permanently free. ~ James Madison
Born Free quotes by James Madison
When the passage "All men are born free and equal," when that passage was being written were not some of the signers legalised owners of slaves? ~ Herman Melville
Born Free quotes by Herman Melville
Music was born free; and to win freedom is its destiny, ~ Ferruccio Busoni
Born Free quotes by Ferruccio Busoni
My name is Rosalie. I may be smaller, I may be weaker, but I was born free, should die free. You will not take this from me. ~ Devon Ashley
Born Free quotes by Devon Ashley
Every man having been born free and master of himself, no one else may under any pretext whatever subject him without his consent. To assert that the son of a slave is born a slave is to assert that he is not born a man. ~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Born Free quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
For to start life with just as much as will make one independent, that is, allow one to live comfortably without having to work - even if one has only just enough for oneself, not to speak of a family - is an advantage which cannot be over-estimated; for it means exemption and immunity from that chronic disease of penury, which fastens on the life of man like a plague; it is emancipation from that forced labor which is the natural lot of every mortal. Only under a favorable fate like this can a man be said to be born free, to be, in the proper sense of the word, sui juris, master of his own time and powers, and able to say every morning, This day is my own. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Born Free quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
«Since when you have taken people for slaves and they were born free» ~ Umar Ibn Al-Khattab
Born Free quotes by Umar Ibn Al-Khattab
Man was born free, but everywhere he is in chains!" Rousseau saw the primitive as innocent and autonomous freedom as the final good. We ~ Francis A. Schaeffer
Born Free quotes by Francis A. Schaeffer
Never may an act of possession be exercised upon a free being; the exclusive possession of a woman is no less unjust than the possession of slaves; all men are born free, all have equal rights: never should we lose sight of those principles; according to which never may there be granted to one sex the legitimate right to lay monopolizing hands upon the other, and never may one of the sexes, or classes, arbitrarily possess the other. ~ Marquis De Sade
Born Free quotes by Marquis De Sade
In the churchyard in Jaffrey, New Hampshire are two handsome headstones. The slate weathered well and William Farnsworth's chiseling is clearly readable. They say:

Sacred to the memory of Amos Fortune who was born free in Africa a slave in America he purchased liberty professed Christianity lived reputably and died hopefully
Nov. 17, 1801
Aet. 91

Sacred to the memory of Violate by sale the slave of Amos Fortune by marriage his wife by her fidelity his friend and solace she died his widow
Sept. 13 1802
Aet. 73 ~ Elizabeth Yates
Born Free quotes by Elizabeth Yates
Not everyone born free and equal, as the constitution says, but everyone made equal. ~ Ray Bradbury
Born Free quotes by Ray Bradbury
No man [ ... ] can be so stupid to deny that all men naturally were born free, being the image and resemblance of God himself. ~ John Milton
Born Free quotes by John Milton
You are free.You were born free and you can do whatever you want but between the limits ~ Raya Hatahet
Born Free quotes by Raya Hatahet
Man is born free, but is everywhere in chains. ~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Born Free quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Under standing orders from General Lee, the Army of Northern Virginia enslaved any and all black persons it could seize - in Virginia, Maryland, even Pennsylvania during the Gettysburg Campaign. It made no distinctions between those who had escaped during the war, those born free, or those freed before the war under the laws of Southern states. If they were black, the men in gray took them as property. ~ T. J. Stiles
Born Free quotes by T. J. Stiles
Whatever may be the sociological value of the legal fiction that 'all men are born free and equal,' there can be no doubt that ... in its biological application, at any rate, this statement is one of the most stupendous falsehoods ever uttered by man through his misbegotten gift of articulate speech. ~ Earnest Hooton
Born Free quotes by Earnest Hooton
Men, even if they are born free, will remain slaves of strict laws enacted by their forefathers ... ~ Kahlil Gibran
Born Free quotes by Kahlil Gibran
Rousseau had it backwards. We are NOT born free. We are born in the chains of the random and the reflexive, and are ignorant and unreasonable by simple nature. We must learn to be free, to organize the random and detect the reflexive, to acquire the knowledge of particulars and the powers of reason. The examined life is impossible if we cannot examine, order, classify, define, distinguish, always in minute particulars. ~ Richard Mitchell
Born Free quotes by Richard Mitchell
The [nonprofit] sector enhances our creativity, enlivens our communities, nurtures individual responsibility, stirs life at the grassroots, and reminds us that we were born free. ~ John W. Gardner
Born Free quotes by John W. Gardner
Women are born free, and I think that they should stay that way. ~ Oscar De La Renta
Born Free quotes by Oscar De La Renta
We are born free, but we're taught to obey orders. ~ Marty Rubin
Born Free quotes by Marty Rubin
If all men are born free, why is it that all women are born slaves? ~ Mary Astell
Born Free quotes by Mary Astell
For Nature is not unjust. She does not steal into the womb and like an evil fairy give her good gifts secretly to men and deny them to women. Men and women are born free and equal in ability and brain. The injustice begins after birth. ~ Pearl S. Buck
Born Free quotes by Pearl S. Buck
Born free. Taxed to death. ~ Christopher Titus
Born Free quotes by Christopher Titus
If men were born free, they would, so long as they remained free, form no conception of good and evil. ~ Baruch Spinoza
Born Free quotes by Baruch Spinoza
Humans are born free then put into cages, then convinced freedom is what being in a cage is, and what freedom is, is being in a cage. ~ Craig Stone
Born Free quotes by Craig Stone
I have always believed, heretofore, in the doctrines of the Declaration of Independence, that all men are born free and equal; but of late it appears that some men are born slaves, and I regret that they are not black, so all the world might know them. ~ Benjamin F. Wade
Born Free quotes by Benjamin F. Wade
All men were made brothers. The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. You might as well expect the rivers to run backward as that any man who was born free should be content when penned up and denied liberty to go where he pleases. ~ Chief Joseph
Born Free quotes by Chief Joseph
Do we call this the land of the free? What is it to be free from King George and continue the slaves of King Prejudice? What is it to be born free and not to live free? What is the value of any political freedom, but as a means to moral freedom? Is it a freedom to be slaves, or a freedom to be free, of which we boast? We are a nation of politicians, concerned about the outmost defences only of freedom. It is our children's children who may perchance be really free. We tax ourselves unjustly. There is a part of us which is not represented. It is taxation without representation. We quarter troops, we quarter fools and cattle of all sorts upon ourselves. We quarter our gross bodies on our poor souls, till the former eat up all the latter's substance. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Born Free quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Fresh, vivacious and utterly light,
Spring leaves are so bright.
Born free, live free, die free,
They raise temptations in me. ~ P. Pradeep Raj
Born Free quotes by P. Pradeep Raj
I prefer to work for my country in a free and independent way. I was born free, and I want to die free. I am always suspicious of ideology. Instead, I respect men with ideas. ~ Andrea Bocelli
Born Free quotes by Andrea Bocelli
And wasn't it this bright boy you selected for beating and tortures after hours? Of course it was. We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for their are no mountains to make them cower, to judge themselves against. So! A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it. Take the shot from the weapon. Breach man's mind. Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man? Me? I won't stomach them for a minute. And so when houses were finally fireproofed completely, all over the world (you were correct in your assumption the other night) there was no longer need of firemen for the old purposes. They were given the new job, as custodians of our peace of mind, the focus of our understandable and rightful dread of being inferior: official censors, judges and executors. That's you, Montag, and that's me. ~ Ray Bradbury
Born Free quotes by Ray Bradbury
What do you live for?" I ask her suddenly. "Is it for me? Is it for family and love? Or is it for some dream?" "It's not just some dream, Darrow. I live for the dream that my children will be born free. That they will be what they like. That they will own the land their father gave them." "I live for you," I say sadly. She kisses my cheek. "Then you must live for more." There ~ Pierce Brown
Born Free quotes by Pierce Brown
Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains. Those who think themselves the masters of others are indeed greater slaves than they. ~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Born Free quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We are born free, but are taught to obey orders. ~ Marty Rubin
Born Free quotes by Marty Rubin
It should not be a surprise to find that s/m fantasy is significant in women's sex lives. Women may be born free but they are born into a system of subordination. We are not born into equality and do not have equality to eroticise. We are not born into power and do not have power to eroticise. We are born into subordination and it is in subordination that we learn our sexual and emotional responses. It would be surprising indeed if any woman reared under male supremacy was able to escape the forces constructing her into a member of an inferior slave class. ~ Sheila Jeffreys
Born Free quotes by Sheila Jeffreys
... what I'm saying is that if we and all the other species on earth are the only life forms in the universe and if there are no gods and let's face it apart from a few tired scrolls written 300 years after the death of Jesus and his disciples there is no actual proof of a God or gods then we, the humans, who are meant to be at the height of the evolutionary tree, are in fact at the bottom because no other species on this planet is enslaved to the economy. Every other species is born free and lives free. We humans are born into economic slavery and life crippling debt. ~ Arun D. Ellis
Born Free quotes by Arun D. Ellis
Men may be born free; they cannot be born wise; and it is the duty of the university to make the free wise. ~ Adlai Stevenson I
Born Free quotes by Adlai Stevenson I
Under the law of nature, all men are born free, every one comes into the world with a right to his own person, which includes the liberty of moving and using it at his own will. This is what is called personal liberty, and is given him by the Author ~ Thomas Jefferson
Born Free quotes by Thomas Jefferson
We are all born free of religion, but none of us are born free of the need for compassion. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Born Free quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
Freedom is the possibility of isolation. You are free if you can withdraw from people, not having to seek them out for the sake of money, company, love, glory or curiosity, none of which can thrive in silence and solitude. If you can't live alone, you were born a slave. You may have all the splendours of the mind and the soul, in which case you're a noble slave, or an intelligent servant, but you're not free. And you can't hold this up as your own tragedy, for your birth is a tragedy of Fate alone. Hapless you are, however, if life itself so oppresses you that you're forced to become a slave. Hapless you are if, having been born free, with the capacity to be isolated and self-sufficient, poverty should force you to live with others. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Born Free quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Our brain is a circuit board with neurons and terminals ready to be wired. We are born free, then programmed to obey our parents, to tell the truth, pass exams, pursue and achieve, love and propagate, age and fade unfulfilled and uncertain what it has all been for. We swallow the operating system with our mother's milk and sleepwalk into the forest of consumer illusion craving shoes, houses, cars, magazines, experiences that endorse our preconceived dreams and opinions. We grow into our parents. We becomes clones, robots, matchstick men thinking and saying the same, feeling the same, behaving the same, appreciating in books and films and art shows those things we already recognize and understand. ~ Chloe Thurlow
Born Free quotes by Chloe Thurlow
I'm bad at doing what I'm told. I'm a born free thinker. ~ Christopher Monckton
Born Free quotes by Christopher Monckton
Everybody is born free. Not everybody is worthy of freedom. ~ Os Guinness
Born Free quotes by Os Guinness
All films are born free and equal. ~ Andre Bazin
Born Free quotes by Andre Bazin
I was born free, yet today I am in chains. Invisible, they were loosely draped and passed unnoticed until the age of understanding reduced my life to a narrow segment of fear. - Sultana ~ Jean Sasson
Born Free quotes by Jean Sasson
We are all born free from all religious affiliations and only come to believe in such things after being introduced to it ― so, atheism is the default position. Although some children are not indoctrinated with a specific religion before the age of reason, there are many more who are. ~ David G. McAfee
Born Free quotes by David G. McAfee
I'd like to open an animal orphanage in Kenya. I do a lot of work for Born Free. ~ Rachel Hunter
Born Free quotes by Rachel Hunter
He was a loner. He was a drifter. He loved talking to the mountains. He loved talking to the breeze. He loved talking to the trees. And he just wanted to drift. He wanted to inhale the myriad fragrances of different places. He was born free. And he loved to drift. He loved his motorcycle and his motorcycle loved him. But he did not believe in love and attachments. He just wanted to drift. He was addicted to his loneliness. He was free. And he loved to ride his motorcycle. ~ Avijeet Das
Born Free quotes by Avijeet Das
Frank Sinatra did 'Born Free', Tony Bennett did 'Walkabout,' but you have no control over who does what, really. So you just hold yourself responsible for the stuff you do, and then get filthy rich on all this stuff that other people have done. ~ John Barry
Born Free quotes by John Barry
I dived out of the office and I was gone ... hitting these fields like a mad March hare. This wasn't Born Free, it was RUN FREE! ~ Stephen Richards
Born Free quotes by Stephen Richards
readers were born free and ought to remain free. ~ Azar Nafisi
Born Free quotes by Azar Nafisi
We were born free. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Born Free quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. ~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Born Free quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Man is born free but today everywhere he is in chains. ~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Born Free quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Markets are born free, yet no sooner are they born than some would-be emperor is forging chains. Paradoxically, it sometimes happens that the only way to preserve freedom is through judicious controls on the exercise of private power. If we believe in liberty, it must be freedom from both private and public coercion. ~ Tim Wu
Born Free quotes by Tim Wu
Man was born free, but...he is in chains. Chains made of duty, hunger, fear. Chains hammered to our necks by a race that we lifted up. A race that we empowered. Not to rule, not to reign, but to lead us from a world torn by war and greed. Instead, they have led us into darkness. They expect your obedience, ignore your sacrifice, and hoard the prosperity that your hands create. To hold tight to their reign, they forbid our dreams. ~ Pierce Brown
Born Free quotes by Pierce Brown
Not every one of us are born or made free of our own prisons to the extent of ourselves. ~ M.F. Moonzajer
Born Free quotes by M.F. Moonzajer
You might as well expect rivers to run backwards as any man born free to be contented penned up. ~ Chief Joseph
Born Free quotes by Chief Joseph
I still cannot fathom how difficult it was for the women I met to find out that they were HIV-positive. It is such a courageous undertaking in countries where there is still considerable stigma about the disease. They got tested to ensure that their unborn babies would have a chance of life by being born free of the virus. ~ Gabriel Byrne
Born Free quotes by Gabriel Byrne
Not everyone born free and equal, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for there are no mountains to make them cower, to judge themselves against. So! A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it. Take the shot from the weapon. Breach man's mind. Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man. Me? I won't stomach them for a minute. ~ Ray Bradbury
Born Free quotes by Ray Bradbury
I mean, how does that crazy preacher know where the dead go and how the hell does he know the dead like being there? He's trying to make it sound like the only reason we get born is to bite the dust ~ Vera Jane Cook
Born Free quotes by Vera Jane Cook
If you feel proud, let it be in the thought that you are the servant of God, the son of God. Great men have the nature of a child. They are always a child before Him; so they are free from pride. All their strength is of God and not their own. It belongs to Him and comes from Him. ~ Ramakrishna
Born Free quotes by Ramakrishna
There are times when you don't belong and you think you're going to kill yourself. Once I went to a hotel. Later that night I made a plan. The plan was I would leave my family when my second child was born. And that's what I did. I got up one morning, made breakfast, went to the bus stop, got on a bus. I'd left a note. I got a job in a library in Canada. It would be wonderful to say you regretted it. It would be easy. But what does it mean? What does it mean to regret when you have no choice? It's what you can bear. There it is. No-one's going to forgive me. It was death. I chose life. -Laura Brown- ~ Michael Cunningham
Born Free quotes by Michael Cunningham
I am not born to just become an actor ~ Salman Khan
Born Free quotes by Salman Khan
I am not Tobias Eaton, not anymore, never again. I am Dauntless. ~ Veronica Roth
Born Free quotes by Veronica Roth
Another example is the modern political order. Ever since the French Revolution, people throughout the world have gradually come to see both equality and individual freedom as fundamental values. Yet the two values contradict each other. Equality can be ensured only by curtailing the freedoms of those who are better off. Guaranteeing that every individual will be free to do as he wishes inevitably short-changes equality. The entire political history of the world since 1789 can be seen as a series of attempts to reconcile this contradiction. Anyone who has read a novel by Charles Dickens knows that the liberal regimes of nineteenth-century Europe gave priority to individual freedom even if it meant throwing insolvent poor families in prison and giving orphans little choice but to join schools for pickpockets. Anyone who has read a novel by Alexander Solzhenitsyn knows how Communism's egalitarian ideal produced brutal tyrannies that tried to control every aspect of daily life. ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Born Free quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
They would tell you that governments could not manage things as economically as private individuals; they would repeat and repeat that, and think they were saying something! They could not see that "economical" management by masters meant simply that they, the people, were worked harder and ground closer and paid less!

They were wage-earners and servants, at the mercy of exploiters whose one thought was to get as much out of them as possible; and they were taking an interest in the process, were anxious lest it should not be done thoroughly enough! Was it not honestly a trial to listen to an argument such as that?

And yet there were things even worse. You would begin talking to some poor devil who had worked in one shop for the last thirty years, and had never been able to save a penny; who left home every morning at six o'clock, to go and tend a machine, and come back at night too tired to take his clothes off; who had never had a week's vacation in his life, had never traveled, never had an adventure, never learned anything, never hoped anything - and when you started to tell him about Socialism he would sniff and say, "I'm not interested in that - I'm an individualist!" And then he would go on to tell you that Socialism was "paternalism," and that if it ever had its way the world would stop progressing.

It was enough to make a mule laugh, to hear arguments like that; and yet it was no laughing matter, as you found out - for how many million ~ Upton Sinclair
Born Free quotes by Upton Sinclair
The more you've got, the shorter it feels. ~ John Perry Barlow
Born Free quotes by John Perry Barlow
CROUCHING TIGER is nevertheless a gloriously big epic, starring the Hong Kong action stars Chow Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeoh in a visionary adventure where the characters seem set free from the force of gravity. ~ Roger Ebert
Born Free quotes by Roger Ebert
The God Thou servest is thine own appetite, wherein is fixed the love of Beelzebub. To Him I'll build an altar and a church, and offer lukewarm blood of new-born babes. ~ Christopher Marlowe
Born Free quotes by Christopher Marlowe
Freedom is not just something with which we are born; it is something we achieve. America did not receive a perpetual endowment of freedom; it has had to struggle and fight to preserve it. Freedom is not an heirloom or an antique; it is a life that must fight against the corrosive powers of death and nourish itself on the daily bread of goodness and virtue. ~ Fulton J. Sheen
Born Free quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
In Germany, a new sect shall be born which shall renew ancient pagan times. ~ Nostradamus
Born Free quotes by Nostradamus
The brave are born from the brave and good. In steers and in horses is to be found the excellence of their sire; nor do savage eagles produce a peaceful dove. ~ Horace
Born Free quotes by Horace
The "lone genius" myth: An individual with superhuman talents appears out of nowhere at certain points in history, free of influences or precedent, with a direct connection to God or The Muse. ~ Austin Kleon
Born Free quotes by Austin Kleon
The past has no power over us. It doesn't matter how long we have had a negative pattern. The point of power is in the present moment. What a wonderful thing to realize! We can begin to be free in this moment! ~ Louise L. Hay
Born Free quotes by Louise L. Hay
She's a serial kisser. I think her parents are French. ~ C.C. Hunter
Born Free quotes by C.C. Hunter
No matter where I go, sadness follows. No matter how much time passes it won't go away. You get only one heart when you're born, and you can't turn it in or get it repaired. The only thing that fills it is more sadness. I'm surprised there's any room left in there at all. ~ Miyuki Miyabe
Born Free quotes by Miyuki Miyabe
In addition to these international climbers, we were supported by a climbing team of Nepalese Sherpas, led by their Sirdar boss, Kami.
Raised in the lower Himalayan foothills, these Sherpas know Everest better than anyone. Many had climbed on the mountain for years, assisting expeditions by carrying food, oxygen, extra tents, and supplies to stock the higher camps.
As climbers, we would each carry substantial-sized packs every day on Everest, laden with food, water, cooker, gas canisters, sleeping bag, roll mat, head torch, batteries, mittens, gloves, hat, down jacket, crampons, multitool, rope, and ice axes.
The Sherpas would then add an extra sack of rice or two oxygen tanks to that standard load.
Their strength was extraordinary, and their pride was in their ability to help transport those life-giving necessities that normal climbers could not carry for themselves.
It is why the Sherpas are, without doubt, the real heroes on Everest.
Born and brought up at around twelve thousand feet, altitude is literally in their blood. Yet up high, above twenty-five thousand feet, even the Sherpas start to slow, the way everyone, gradually and inevitably, does.
Reduced to a slow, agonizing, lung-splitting crawl. Two paces, then a rest. Two paces, then a rest.
It is known as the "Everest shuffle. ~ Bear Grylls
Born Free quotes by Bear Grylls
When you don't have the pressure of pleasing someone else and do something because you love doing it, that's when the best works are born. ~ Vishwas Mudagal
Born Free quotes by Vishwas Mudagal
If people give up their attachment to expansive government, they will feel free to fight the income tax. ~ Sheldon Richman
Born Free quotes by Sheldon Richman
The person who gives him or herself wholly, the person who feels freest, is the person who loves most wholeheartedly. And the person who loves wholeheartedly feels free. ~ Anonymous
Born Free quotes by Anonymous
The grand result of schooling is a mind with just vision to discern, with free force to do: the grand schoolmaster is Practice. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Born Free quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Wehehehehell, if it isn't Ollie-Ollie-oxidant-free ... "
You can take ... all the tea in China ... put it in a big brown ... bag for me.
He's as sweet as tupelo honey; he's an angel of the first degree.
Men with insight ... men in granite ... knights in armor bent on ... chivalry.
He's as sweet as ... tupelo honey; just like honey, baby ... from the bee."

Can i have a musician here? ~ Tom Collins
Born Free quotes by Tom Collins
I was born with an extremely negative attitude. I was the kid who wouldn't smile in Christmas photos, was a poor sport, and hated a lot of things. I eventually grew out of my negativity when I matured. ~ Colton Haynes
Born Free quotes by Colton Haynes
The Western societies which espouse free market capitalism survive by the pursuit of greed and, in their own way, like Communism, throw into leadership men and women (mostly men) who know how to gain, exert and manipulate power. ~ Davis McCaughey
Born Free quotes by Davis McCaughey
Wondering how I would make it through a hand-to-hand duel, I glanced around--and just then I saw one of Galdran's equerries fall from his saddle, his banner-spear spinning through the air toward me. Instinctively my free hand reached up and I caught the spear by the shaft. Ignoring the sting in my hand, I jammed my sword into its sheath and started whirling the spear round and round, making the banner snap and stream as my prancing, sidling horse circled round my brother. Horses turned their heads and backed away; no one was able to edge up and get in a good blow at Bran, who swayed in his saddle, his bad arm hanging limp. The warriors fell back, and no one swung at me.
Dimly I became aware of an ugly, harsh voice shouting over the crash and thuds of battle. Keeping the banner whirling, I guided my horse with my knees and risked a glance back over my shoulder--and looked straight into Galdran's rage-darkened face. He said something, spittle flying from his mouth, as he pointed straight at me.
A moment later a flicker of movement on my immediate left caused me to glance round. Shevraeth was there, next to me. "Fall back," he ordered, his voice sharp.
"No. Got to protect Bran--"
There was no time for more. The Marquis was beset by furious attackers as the King shouted orders from a short distance away. Then more riders appeared from somewhere, and for a moment everything was too chaotic to follow. I found myself suddenly on the edge of the battle; there were ~ Sherwood Smith
Born Free quotes by Sherwood Smith
physicists were almost all either first-born sons or eldest sons. Theoretical physicists averaged the highest verbal IQ's among all scientists studied, clustering around 170, almost 20 percent higher than the experimentalists.524 Theoreticians also averaged the highest spatial IQ's, experimentalists ranking second. ~ Richard Rhodes
Born Free quotes by Richard Rhodes
I was born in Champaign in 1918. From the neighborhood elementary and intermediate schools, I went to the University High School in the twin city, Urbana. ~ James Tobin
Born Free quotes by James Tobin
Pretty soon, the only doubt in my mind was the precise time and method of committing suicide. The only alternative I could see was an eternity of hell for the rest of my life in a mental hospital, and I was going to use my last ounce of free choice and choose a quick clean ending. ~ Sylvia Plath
Born Free quotes by Sylvia Plath
I do not want to have children, and that's okay. As it turns out, not wanting kids will absolutely not make me "less" of a woman. I am not defective. I am not wrong. I know my own mind. I have intrinsic value as a singular, autonomous person, and that value is not contingent upon me using my body to produce another person. Wanting to be child-free does not make me any better or worse of a human being than any other person who does choose to have children. It's just a choice I've made about my own life. It's no less valid a choice than the choice to become a mother. And that, to me, gets at the real heart of feminism: being granted the freedom to make choices for myself without judgment. ~ Jessica Burnell
Born Free quotes by Jessica Burnell
