So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a link of it.

The desire for freedom resides in every human heart. And that desire cannot be contained forever by prison walls, or martial laws, or secret police. Over time, and across the Earth, freedom will find a way.

Freedom — or mukti or moksha — is seen as the natural longing in every human being and our ultimate destination.

After the primary necessities of food and raiment, freedom is the first and strongest want of human nature.

Human nature is universally imbued with a desire for liberty, and a hatred for servitude.

We want to know in order to make ourselves free. That is our life: one universal cry for freedom.

In all of its varied and protean forms, love is the tether binding our whirling lives. Without that biological anchor, all of us are flung outward, singly into the encroaching dark.

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.

Paradox: While we want to control the other person's every move, or even every thought, we ourselves often desire freedom and liberty.

It is the fact that the longing for freedom is not just embedded in every true soul's heart.

MAN is born free; and everywhere he is in chains. One thinks himself the master of others, and still remains a greater slave than they.

Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.

Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. Here's one who thinks he is the master of others, yet he is more enslaved than they are.

Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. One man thinks himself the master of others, but remains more of a slave than they are.
