Him that I love, I wish to be free — even from me.

I want to be free from freedom. Free.

It seems to me that only someone who wishes for freedom can be free. I wish for freedom.

I am condemned to be free.

I just want to be happy, joyous and free.

I'm a free person; I feel terribly free. They could put me in chains and I still would be free because my thoughts would be mine - and that's all I want to have.

I have tried in my way to be free.

Yes, I am so free. And what a superb absence is my soul.

The thought of only being a creature of the present and past was troubling. I longed for a future too, with hope in it. The desire to be free, awakened my determination to act, to think, and to speak.

I wanted to be free. I wanted to express desires on my own, to shape my own little life.

I am free and that is why I am lost.

My spirit is not banned — I still say I want freedom in my lifetime.

Give me my freedom for as long as I be.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me,
And all I ask of dying is to go naturally.

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