You can have economic freedom without political freedom, but you cannot have political freedom without economic freedom. ~ Friedrich August Von Hayek
Political Freedom quotes by Friedrich August Von Hayek
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. ~ George Orwell
Political Freedom quotes by George Orwell
Zamanism is about creating power and private resources for all in society by destroying bureaucratic and monopolistic control on society. ~ Zaman Ali
Political Freedom quotes by Zaman Ali
Whatever the immediate gains and losses, the dangers to our safety arising from political suppression are always greater than the dangers to the safety resulting from political freedom. Suppression is always foolish. Freedom is always wise. ~ Alexander Meiklejohn
Political Freedom quotes by Alexander Meiklejohn
It is unthinkable that a national government which represents women should ignore the issue of the right of all women to political freedom. ~ Lucy Burns
Political Freedom quotes by Lucy Burns
I fight, and have fought, for political freedom, for justice and for fairness and freedom of speech. ~ Teresa Heinz
Political Freedom quotes by Teresa Heinz
We're quite lucky that we've got political freedoms. We should be using them. ~ Mark Thomas
Political Freedom quotes by Mark Thomas
In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
Political Freedom quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
The State is the altar of political freedom and, like the religious altar, it is maintained for the purpose of human sacrifice. ~ Emma Goldman
Political Freedom quotes by Emma Goldman
In the modern world, we Americans are the old inhabitants. We first had political freedom, high industrial production, an economy of abundance. ~ Paul Goodman
Political Freedom quotes by Paul Goodman
How can wealth persuade poverty to use its political freedom to keep wealth in power? Here lies the whole art of Conservative politics. ~ Ziad K. Abdelnour
Political Freedom quotes by Ziad K. Abdelnour
It is better to tolerate the rare instance of a parent refusing to let his child be educated, than to shock the common feelings and ideas by forcible asportation and education of the infant against the will of the father. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Political Freedom quotes by Thomas Jefferson
Privacy is absolutely essential to maintaining a free society. The idea that is at the foundation of the notion of privacy is that the citizen is not the tool or instrument of government - but the reverse ... If you have no privacy, it will tend to follow that you have no political freedom ... ~ Benno C. Schmidt, Jr.
Political Freedom quotes by Benno C. Schmidt, Jr.
Let us then repeat and firmly fix this main point: the evil, the root evil, of that to which the term Capitalism has come to be applied, is neither its functioning for profit nor its dependence upon legally protected private property; but the presence of a Proletariat, that is of men possessing political freedom, but dispossessed of economic freedom, and existing in such large numbers in any community as to determine the tone of all that community. ~ Hilaire Belloc
Political Freedom quotes by Hilaire Belloc
Liberty is the possibility of doubting, the possibility of making a mistake, the possibility of searching and experimenting, the possibility of saying no to any authority - literary, artistic, philosophic, religious, social, and even political. ~ Ignazio Silone
Political Freedom quotes by Ignazio Silone
Voting is not an act of political freedom. It is an act of political conformity. Those who refuse to vote are not expressing silence. They are screaming in the politician's ear: 'You do not represent me. This is not a process in which my voice matters. I do not believe you.' ~ Wendy McElroy
Political Freedom quotes by Wendy McElroy
Every student of political science, every student of political economy, every student of economics knows that the race can only be saved through a solid industrial foundation; that the race can only be saved through political independence. Take away industry from a race, take away political freedom from a race and you have a slave race. ~ Marcus Garvey
Political Freedom quotes by Marcus Garvey
Among your instincts you will find the longing for strong friendships, that the modern evil tries to snuff out. And they have good reason to try this, because every great thing in the past was done through strong friendships between two men, or brotherhoods of men, and this includes all great political things, all acts of political freedom and power. The modern zoo wants you instead to be a weak and isolated "individual". ~ Bronze Age Pervert
Political Freedom quotes by Bronze Age Pervert
According to the Buddha's teachings, the most basic condition for happiness is freedom. Here we do not mean political freedom, but freedom from the mental formations of anger, despair, jealousy, and delusion. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Political Freedom quotes by Thich Nhat Hanh
Viewed as a means to the end of political freedom, economic arrangements are important because of their effect on the concentration or dispersion of power. The kind of economic organization that provides economic freedom directly, namely, competitive capitalism, also promotes political freedom because it separates economic power from political power and in this way enables the one to offset the other ~ Milton Friedman
Political Freedom quotes by Milton Friedman
Believers in persecution taught us another important truth. The freedom to believe and witness has nothing to do with the government or political system. The freedom to believe and witness has nothing to do with the civil and political rights that might or might not be present. This is one of the most important lessons that we learned from believers in persecution: They (and you and I) are just as free to share Jesus today in Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Communist countries as you and I are in America. It isn't a matter of political freedom. It is simply a matter of obedience. The price for obedience might be different in different places - but it is always possible to obey Christ's call to make disciples. Every believer - in every place - is always free to make that choice. ~ Nik Ripken
Political Freedom quotes by Nik Ripken
Economic freedom has no security without political freedom, and political freedom can find its security only in economic freedom. ~ Eugen Richter
Political Freedom quotes by Eugen Richter
What is the value of any political freedom, but as a means to moral freedom? ~ Henry David Thoreau
Political Freedom quotes by Henry David Thoreau
It's all very well for us to sit here in the west with our high incomes and cushy lives, and say it's immoral to violate the sovereignty of another state. But if the effect of that is to bring people in that country economic and political freedom, to raise their standard of living, to increase their life expectancy, then don't rule it out. ~ Niall Ferguson
Political Freedom quotes by Niall Ferguson
One should not consider that the great principles of freedom end at your own frontiers, that as long as you have freedom, let the rest have pragmatism. No! Freedom is indivisible and one has to take a moral attitude towards it. ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Political Freedom quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Political freedom is, or ought to be, the best guaranty for the safety and continuance of spiritual, mental, and civil freedom. It is the combination of numbers to secure the liberty to each one. ~ Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Political Freedom quotes by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Political freedom cannot exist in any land where religion controls the state, and religious freedom cannot exist in any land where the state controls religion. ~ Sam Ervin
Political Freedom quotes by Sam Ervin
If you do not force political freedom, economic freedom will be stymied sooner or later. ~ Milton Friedman
Political Freedom quotes by Milton Friedman
Thought ... is still possible, and no doubt actual, wherever men live under the conditions of political freedom. Unfortunately ... no other human capacity is so vulnerable, and it is in fact far easier to act under conditions of tyranny than it is to think. ~ Hannah Arendt
Political Freedom quotes by Hannah Arendt
Whatever may be the immediate gains and losses, the dangers to our safety arising from political suppression are always greater than the dangers to that safety arising from political freedom. Suppression is always foolish. Freedom is always wise. That is the faith, the experimental faith, by which we Americans have undertaken to live. ~ Alexander Meiklejohn
Political Freedom quotes by Alexander Meiklejohn
When even one American - who has done nothing wrong - is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth - then all Americans are in peril. ~ Harry S. Truman
Political Freedom quotes by Harry S. Truman
Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Political Freedom quotes by Thomas Jefferson
Tom Paine generally took a critical stance when dealing with religion and the church, but in 1775, in an essay entitled, "Thoughts on Defensive War" he wrote as follows: "In the barbarous ages of the world, men in genernal had no liberty. the strong governed the weak a will; till the coming of Christ there was no sucht thing as political freedom in any part of the world... The Romans held the world in slavery and were themselves slaves of their emperors... Wherefore political as well as spiritual freedom is the gift of God through Christ ~ Edmund A. Opitz
Political Freedom quotes by Edmund A. Opitz
Political freedom means the absence of coercion of a man by his fellow men. The fundamental threat to freedom is power to coerce, be it in the hands of a monarch, a dictator, an oligarchy, or a momentary majority. The preservation of freedom requires the elimination of such concentration of power to the fullest possible extent and the dispersal and distribution of whatever power cannot be eliminated - a system of checks and balances. ~ Milton Friedman
Political Freedom quotes by Milton Friedman
No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses. ~ Vladimir Lenin
Political Freedom quotes by Vladimir Lenin
We've always been involved with issues that deal with the fundamental human rights of people, whether that means the right to political freedom or the right to breathe air that's clean. ~ Mary Travers
Political Freedom quotes by Mary Travers
Mexico is a country without political freedom, without freedom of speech, without a free press, without a free ballot, without a jury system, without political parties, without any of our cherJ ished guarantees of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is a land where there has been no contest for the office of president for more than a generation, where the executive rules all things by means of a standing army, where political offices are sold for a fixed price. I found Mexico to be a land where the people are poor because they have no rights, where peonage is the rule for the great mass, and where actual chattel slavery obtains for hundreds of thousands. ~ John Kenneth Turner
Political Freedom quotes by John Kenneth Turner
Forced to choose, the poor, like the rich, love money more than political liberty; and the only political freedom capable of enduring is one that is so pruned as to keep the rich from denuding the poor by ability or subtlety and the poor from robbing the rich by violence or votes. ~ Will Durant
Political Freedom quotes by Will Durant
We do not choose political freedom because it promises us this or that. We choose it because it makes possible the only dignified form of human coexistence, the only form in which we can be fully responsible for ourselves. Whether we realize its possibilities depends on all kinds of things - and above all on ourselves. ~ Karl Popper
Political Freedom quotes by Karl Popper
Nobody's busting into YOUR apartment at three in the morning, are they? Well, then don't worry about what they're doing in South Korea and places like that. It's like the standard of living. Are you content to achieve your higher standard of living at the expense of people all over the world who've got a lower standard of living? Most Americans would say yes. Now we ask the question, are you content to enjoy your political freedom at the expense of people who are less free? I think they would also say yes. ~ William S. Burroughs
Political Freedom quotes by William S. Burroughs
For as long as I can remember, I've always been interested in issues of social justice, political freedom, and civil rights. ~ Jennifer Chiaverini
Political Freedom quotes by Jennifer Chiaverini
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
Political Freedom quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Since Castro took power, the Cuban people have been denied basic human freedoms. No freedom of religion, no freedom of the press, no political freedom. And the regime uses brutality and violence to suppress these freedoms and impose its will. ~ Mitt Romney
Political Freedom quotes by Mitt Romney
One way we exercise political freedom is to vote for the candidate of our choice. Another way is to use our money to try to persuade other voters to make a similar choice - that is, to contribute to our candidate's campaign. If either of these freedoms is violated, the consequences are very grave not only for the individual voter and contributor, but for the society whose free political processes depend on a wide distribution of political power. ~ Barry Goldwater
Political Freedom quotes by Barry Goldwater
Political Freedom without economic equality is a pretense, a fraud, a lie; and the workers want no lying. ~ Mikhail Bakunin
Political Freedom quotes by Mikhail Bakunin
Freedom only for supporters of the government, only for the members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently. Not because of any fanatical concept of 'justice' but because all that is instructive, wholesome and purifying in political freedom depends on this essential characteristic, and its effectiveness vanishes when 'freedom' becomes a special privilege. ~ Rosa Luxemburg
Political Freedom quotes by Rosa Luxemburg
I know of no example in time or place of a society that has been marked by a large measure of political freedom, and that has not also used something comparable to a free market to organize the bulk of economic activity. ~ Milton Friedman
Political Freedom quotes by Milton Friedman
Economic freedom is an essential requisite for political freedom. By enabling people to cooperate with one another without coercion or central direction, it reduces the area over which political power is exercised. ~ Milton Friedman
Political Freedom quotes by Milton Friedman
They [anarchists and radical environmentalists] point out that the state and its philosophers, having retrospectively sold us a social contract we never saw nor signed, seem anyway to have reneged on their side of the bargain which was to protect our lives and liberties. The new institutionally guaranteed 'freedoms', to democracy, free speech, individual liberty, so dearly brought, constantly fail to live up to expectation. What does it mean to have political freedom when the parties on offer are ideologically identical clones? What kind of intellectual freedom is it that brands all those who dare to think differently dangerous extremists? What kind of individuality expects us all to conform within such narrow limits? What freedoms are even possible when the very air we breathe is poisoned and the food we eat contaminated with the so-called 'by-products' of progress? In such circumstances, it is surely not surprising that some might choose the dream of pre-contractual state of natural innocence to the increasingly nightmarish 'reality' of Locke's post-contractual culture. ~ Mick Smith
Political Freedom quotes by Mick Smith
Political freedom is a political reading of the Bible. ~ Whittaker Chambers
Political Freedom quotes by Whittaker Chambers
Unity will not make us rich, but it can make it difficult for Africa and the African peoples to be disregarded and humiliated. And it will, therefore, increase the effectiveness of the decisions we make and try to implement for our development. My generation led Africa to political freedom. The current generation of leaders and peoples of Africa must pick up the flickering torch of African freedom, refuel it with their enthusiasm and determination, and carry it forward. ~ Julius Nyerere
Political Freedom quotes by Julius Nyerere
I believe in freedom of speech. And I believe that spending on political campaigns is a form of political speech that is protected under the constitution. ~ Marco Rubio
Political Freedom quotes by Marco Rubio
To attempt social reform, educational reform, industrial expansion, the moral improvement of the race without aiming, first and foremost, at political freedom is the very height of ignorance and futility. ~ Sri Aurobindo
Political Freedom quotes by Sri Aurobindo
When circumstances feel as if they are turning surreal, like the current political situation. We can be guaranteed, our intuition will lead the way to the truth, as long as we don't live in a world of wishful thinking. ~ Anita B. Sulser PhD
Political Freedom quotes by Anita B. Sulser PhD
Men like me, who merely wish to establish political freedom, will in such circumstances lose all their influence, and others will get influence who may become dangerous to all established interests whatsoever. ~ Lajos Kossuth
Political Freedom quotes by Lajos Kossuth
Political freedom is neither easy nor automatic, neither pleasant nor secure. It is the responsibility of the individual for the decisions of society as if they were his own decisions-as
in moral truth and accountability they are. ~ Peter Drucker
Political Freedom quotes by Peter Drucker
A democratic constitution, not supported by democratic institutions in detail, but confined to the central government, not only is not political freedom, but often creates a spirit precisely the reverse, carrying down to the lowest grade in society the desire and ambition of political domination. ~ John Stuart Mill
Political Freedom quotes by John Stuart Mill
It is important that social, political, and religious freedoms grow in China. A society which recognizes religious freedom is a society which will recognize political freedom as well. ~ George W. Bush
Political Freedom quotes by George W. Bush
The idea that political freedom can be preserved in the absence of economic freedom, and vice versa, is an illusion. Political freedom is the corollary of economic freedom. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Political Freedom quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
For us democracy is a question of human dignity. And human dignity is political freedom. ~ Olof Palme
Political Freedom quotes by Olof Palme
Charlie Hebdo: Satire was the father of true political freedom, born in the 18th century; the scourge of bigots and tyrants. Sing its praises. ~ Simon Schama
Political Freedom quotes by Simon Schama
It took centuries of intellectual, philosophical development to achieve political freedom. It was a long struggle, stretching from Aristotle to John Locke to the Founding Fathers. The system they established was not based on unlimited majority rule, but on its opposite: on individual rights, which were not to be alienated by majority vote or minority plotting. The individual was not left at the mercy of his neighbors or his leaders: the Constitutional system of checks and balances was scientifically devised to protect him from both. ~ Ayn Rand
Political Freedom quotes by Ayn Rand
Freedom of speech trumps political correctness. I would say our magazine would publish an anti-Semitic or Holocaust denying cartoon if it meant Jews around the world were rioting because of it and burning embassies because of a cartoon. We would want to show our readers what all the fuss was about. ~ Ezra Levant
Political Freedom quotes by Ezra Levant
History only suggests that capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom. Clearly it is not a sufficient condition. ~ Milton Friedman
Political Freedom quotes by Milton Friedman
Of our political revolution of '76, we all are justly proud. It has given us a degree of political freedom, far exceeding that of any other nation of the earth. In it the world has found a solution of the long mooted problem, as to the capability of man to govern himself. In it was the germ which has vegetated, and still is to grow and expand into the universal liberty of mankind. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Political Freedom quotes by Abraham Lincoln
[Upon the ratification of the 19th Amendment, Carrie Chapman] Catt wrote ... to the women voters of the nation:

The vote is the emblem of your equality, women of America, the guaranty of your liberty. That vote of yours has cost millions of dollars and the lives of thousands of women. Women have suffered agony of soul which you can never comprehend, that you and your daughters might inherit political freedom. That vote has been costly. Prize it!
The vote is a power, a weapon of offense and defense, a prayer. Use it intelligently, conscientiously, prayerfully. Progress is calling to you to make no pause. Act! ~ Elaine Weiss
Political Freedom quotes by Elaine Weiss
In the purer ages of the commonwealth, the use of arms was reserved for those ranks of citizens who had a country to love, a property to defend, and some share in enacting those laws which it was their interest, as well as duty, to maintain. But in proportion as the public freedom was lost in extent of conquest, war was gradually improved into an art, and degraded into a trade. ~ Edward Gibbon
Political Freedom quotes by Edward Gibbon
Even science is art, when it flows pure and free - literature is art, when it flows pure and free - mathematics is art, when it flows pure and free. Any act of the mind that flows pure and free, is art, for freedom is the soul of art. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Political Freedom quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. ~ Christopher McCandless
Political Freedom quotes by Christopher McCandless
I'm an economist. I'm not a political servant. ~ Marc Faber
Political Freedom quotes by Marc Faber
As a young Marxist in college during the 1950s heyday of the anti-Communist crusade led by Senator Joseph McCarthy, I had more freedom to express my views in class, without fear of retaliation, than conservative students have on many campuses today. ~ Thomas Sowell
Political Freedom quotes by Thomas Sowell
The possibility for such collective healing holds tremendous transformative power that remains as yet untapped. It is difficult for people to imagine the freedom and energy that would be released if our society were to seriously embrace this task of collective gender healing in community. ~ William Keepin
Political Freedom quotes by William Keepin
I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Political Freedom quotes by Thomas Jefferson
The expression 'three is a crowd' holds true for both romance and politics. A three-way race is a disaster, because it splits the ballots, making it almost impossible to gain a majority of the votes. It usually results in a runoff. ~ Evette Davis
Political Freedom quotes by Evette Davis
What I am against is quotas. I am against hard quotas, quotas they basically delineate based upon whatever. However they delineate, quotas, I think vulcanize society. So I don't know how that fits into what everybody else is saying, their relative positions, but that's my position. ~ George W. Bush
Political Freedom quotes by George W. Bush
I returned to the university only after the Second World War, and, even then, not having been in the resistance, I had political difficulties." "Why weren't you in the resistance?" "I was tired. And you have to have a certain temperament. You have to be fixed on the point. You need what politicians have, which is the absence of a sense of mortality. It comes, like a drug, from adoration and deference. Revolutionaries get it from dreams. They say that nothing is apolitical, that politics, the bedrock of life, is something from which you cannot depart. I say, fuck them. ~ Mark Helprin
Political Freedom quotes by Mark Helprin
Everybody makes personal decisions that are right for them and if you're in political life, you're used to having those analyzed. ~ Elizabeth Edwards
Political Freedom quotes by Elizabeth Edwards
Once your rights to yourself are surrendered to God, your true personal nature begins responding to God immediately. Jesus Christ brings freedom to your total person, and even your individuality is transformed. The transformation is brought about by love - personal devotion to Jesus. Love is the overflowing result of one person in true fellowship with another. ~ Oswald Chambers
Political Freedom quotes by Oswald Chambers
The First Amendment was specifically designed for citizens to insult politicians. Libel laws were written to protect law students speaking out on political issues from getting called whores by Oxycontin addicts. ~ Bill Maher
Political Freedom quotes by Bill Maher
There is no Jesus without Judas, no Martin Luther King, Jr., without the Klan; no Ali without Joe Frazier; no freedom without tyranny. No wisdom exists that does not include perspective. Relativity is the greatest gift. ~ Chris Crutcher
Political Freedom quotes by Chris Crutcher
Scientology is used to increase spiritual freedom, intelligence, ability and to produce immortality. ~ L. Ron Hubbard
Political Freedom quotes by L. Ron Hubbard
The first duty of a man is to think for himself ~ Jose Marti
Political Freedom quotes by Jose Marti
..."extreme capitalism": the obsessive, uncritical penetration of the concept of the market into every aspect of American life, and the attempt to drive out every other institution, including law, art, culture, public education, Social Security, unions, community, you name it. It is the conflation of markets with populism, with democracy, with diversity, with liberty, and with choice---and so the denial of any form of choice that imposes limits on the market. More than that, it is the elimination of these separate concepts from our political discourse, so that we find ourselves looking to the stock market to fund retirement, college education, health care, and having forgotten that in other wealthy and developed societies these are rights, not the contingent outcomes of speculative games.

James K. Galbraith, Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. Chair in Government/Business Relations and Professor of Government, University of Texas. ~ James K. Galbraith
Political Freedom quotes by James K. Galbraith
people who have made India awesome aren't all politicians. Most of the people that did this are not from the government. Whether it is entrepreneurs like J.R.D. Tata and N.R. Narayana Murthy, sportspersons like Sachin Tendulkar or musicians like A.R. Rahman, people from all walks of life have helped improve our nation. Not just celebrities, but E. Sreedharan, responsible for the Delhi Metro, and Dr Verghese Kurien, who created the Amul revolution, were all ordinary people doing their work extraordinarily well. Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda, two of the most influential figures in India's history, never held political office. Aim to be one of those people who made India awesome. ~ Chetan Bhagat
Political Freedom quotes by Chetan Bhagat
Autonomy is the capacity to act on principles that are one's own and one will exercise this capacity by means of a process of rational reflection on these principles. Autonomy is thought to be necessary for attributing political responsibility. ~ Alison Assiter
Political Freedom quotes by Alison Assiter
I think the Democrats are going to have to be willing to give up, maybe, some short-term political gain by whipping up fears on some of these things - if it's a reasonable Social Security proposal, a reasonable Medicare proposal. We've got to deal with these things. You cannot have health care devour the economy. ~ William J. Clinton
Political Freedom quotes by William J. Clinton
There is a law in physics that applies to the soul. No two objects can occupy the same space at the same time; one thing must displace another. If your heart's crammed tight with material things and a thirst for wealth, there's no space left for God. Francis wanted a void in his life that could only be filled with Jesus. Poverty wasn't a burden for him - it was a pathway to spiritual freedom. ~ Ian Morgan Cron
Political Freedom quotes by Ian Morgan Cron
We trust, that is to say, that there is no substantial criterion by which to judge our choices that stands higher than the unquestioned good of free choice itself, and that therefore all judgment, divine no less than human, is in some sense an infringement upon our freedom. This is our primal ideology. In the most unadorned terms possible, the ethos of modernity is-to be perfectly precise-nihilism.
This ~ David Bentley Hart
Political Freedom quotes by David Bentley Hart
With a clear intention and a willing spirit, sooner or later we experience the joy and freedom that arises when we recognize our common humanity with others and see that real love excludes no one. ~ Sharon Salzberg
Political Freedom quotes by Sharon Salzberg
I very much enjoy my freedom creatively but I also would love to make one of those big Hollywood films that costs a lot of money and has a lot of people running around with cell phones and all that insanity. ~ Nicolas Winding Refn
Political Freedom quotes by Nicolas Winding Refn
Freedom is always, and exclusively, freedom for the one who thinks differently. ~ Rosa Luxemburg
Political Freedom quotes by Rosa Luxemburg
What unknown abilities had filled this void? Was the world somehow brighter, more tangible, without the nagging interference of language? Was the absence of words actually a form of freedom? I've often tried to quiet that constant voice in my mind, to try to experience the world the way they might - but always the questions rush in faster than I can carve out a moment of true silence. ~ Eli Horowitz
Political Freedom quotes by Eli Horowitz
True, the US Government does not have moral authority to ask for an independent investigation into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity that occurred in final stages of the civil war in Sri Lanka. This is so not just because of what they have done in Sri Lanka, but what they do all around the world. Certainly, the US enhanced their assistance in many ways during last decades to fight against the Tamil Tiger rebels. But does the Government of Sri Lanka have moral authority to deny an international investigation? The answer is no. ~ Nilantha Ilangamuwa
Political Freedom quotes by Nilantha Ilangamuwa
Why is it you intense political types insist on living entirely in the symbolic world? ~ Bill Willingham
Political Freedom quotes by Bill Willingham
Yet there is no acceptance to be found in my heart. This death is unfair. Ignoble, and not justifiable by any measure of rationale. No battle is worth this. No ideals, no political cause, and no bounty. Being here is a mistake. Dying is a mistake. Twenty-two years has not been enough. "--Luke, a Civil War soldier ~ Diane Ryan
Political Freedom quotes by Diane Ryan
Political liberty is to be found only in moderate governments. ~ Baron De Montesquieu
Political Freedom quotes by Baron De Montesquieu
“"Who's a spirit user?" said Robert.
"Former spirit user," said Victor, "She became a Strigoi to get away from it."
"Yes . . . always a lure to that . . . kill to live, live to kill.
Immortality and freedom from these chains, but oh, what a loss . . ." said Robert.” ~ Richelle Mead
Political Freedom quotes by Richelle Mead
I love to create, and to me, the ultimate freedom of expression is a blank canvas or a block of clay to capture whatever emotions your imagination gives it. ~ Daniel Boulud
Political Freedom quotes by Daniel Boulud
The government regulates them, or chooses not to, approves or blocks their mergers and acquisitions, and sets their tax policies (often turning a blind eye to the billions parked in offshore tax havens). This is why tech companies, like the rest of corporate America, inundate Washington with lobbyists and quietly pour hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions into the political system. Now they're gaining the wherewithal to fine-tune our political behavior - and with it the shape of American government - just by tweaking their algorithms. ~ Cathy O'Neil
Political Freedom quotes by Cathy O'Neil
Were marriage no more than a convenient screen for sexuality, some less cumbersome and costly protection must have been found by this time to replace it. One concludes therefore that people do not marry to cohabit; they cohabit to marry. They do not seek freedom to rut so much as they seek the rut of wedlock. ~ Virgilia Peterson
Political Freedom quotes by Virgilia Peterson
