“I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too
obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I
do.” – Robert Heinlein

“The really important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being
able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy
ways every day.” – David Foster Wallace

“True freedom is not advanced in the permissive society, which confuses freedom with license to do
anything whatever and which in the name of freedom proclaims a kind of general amorality. It is a
caricature of freedom to claim that people are free to organize their lives with no reference to moral
values, and to say that society does not have to ensure the protection and advancement of ethical values.
Such an attitude is destructive of freedom and peace.” – Pope John Paul II

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their
creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is
the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on
such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their
safety and happiness.” – Declaration of Independence of USA
