- Well, one thing, you got to stand in a courtroom and listen to a judge sentencing you to 25 years in prison before you realize that freedom of expression can no longer be taken for granted.
- Larry Flynt on Freedom
- Well, the first thing is that truth and power for me form an antithesis, an antagonism, which will hardly ever be resolved. I can define in fact, can simplify the history of human society, the evolution of human society, as a contest between power and freedom.
- Wole Soyinka on Freedom
- What Churchill described as the twin marauders of war and tyranny have been almost entirely banished from our continent. Today, hundreds of millions dwell in freedom, from the Baltic to the Adriatic, from the Western Approaches to the Aegean.
- David Cameron on Freedom
- What creates freedom? A revolution in the streets? Mass protest? Civil war? A change of government? The ousting of the old guard and its replacement by the new? History, more often than not, shows that hopes raised by such events are often dashed, sooner rather than later.

- What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist.
- Salman Rushdie on Freedom
- What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long.
- Thomas Sowell on Freedom
- What is our freedom fight about? Is it about the liberation of children or just having sex with them?

- Marilyn Vos Savant on Freedom
- What then is freedom? The power to live as one wishes.
- Marcus Tullius Cicero on Freedom
- What we have at present is a system of loss socialism. Whatever goes wrong is shouldered by the general public and anything that works is privatised. Worshippers of market freedom have suspended the most important economic principle: Risk and liability go hand in hand.
- Sigmar Gabriel on Freedom
- 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.

- When I launched the development of the GNU system, I explicitly said the purpose of developing this system is so we can use our computers and have freedom, thus if you use some other free system instead but you have freedom, then it's a success.

- Serj Tankian on Freedom
- When I went off to the army when I was 17 years old, I believed in America and the rights of freedom. But today I believe my government is lying to the American people and that my president, George Bush, is a criminal.
- Jack Herer on Freedom
- When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time one must always go forward - or go back. He who now talks about the 'freedom of the press' goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.
- Vladimir Lenin on Freedom
- When others stood idly by, you and your families gave your all, in defence of a risen people and in pursuit of Irish freedom and unity.

- DeForest Soaries on Freedom
- When the United States was founded, the very idea of a nation premised on democratic principles of freedom and tolerance was viewed by the vast majority of the world as an experiment doomed to fail. Dictatorships, monarchies, and theocracies had for many centuries ruled the world.
- Eliot Spitzer on Freedom
- When there is state there can be no freedom, but when there is freedom there will be no state.
- Vladimir Lenin on Freedom

- When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free.
- Charles Evans Hughes on Freedom
- When we talk of freedom and opportunity for all nations, the mocking paradoxes in our own society become so clear they can no longer be ignored.
- Wendell Willkie on Freedom
- When we, through our educational culture, through the media, through the entertainment culture, give our children the impression that human beings cannot control their passions, we are telling them, in effect, that human beings cannot be trusted with freedom.
- Alan Keyes on Freedom
- When you're not concerned with succeeding, you can work with complete freedom.
- Larry David on Freedom
- Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes.
- Robert Kennedy on Freedom
- Where globalization means, as it so often does, that the rich and powerful now have new means to further enrich and empower themselves at the cost of the poorer and weaker, we have a responsibility to protest in the name of universal freedom.

- Thomas Frank on Freedom
- While it's really hard to do, at the same time, I'm escaping my body, which I really want to do. I'm living someone else's life. I get very intensely into the story, into the interviews and the research. I'm experiencing things along with my subjects. I have a freedom I don't have in my physical life.
- Laura Hillenbrand on Freedom
- While the State exists there can be no freedom when there is freedom there will be no State.

- Who is more to be pitied, a writer bound and gagged by policemen or one living in perfect freedom who has nothing more to say?
- Kurt Vonnegut on Freedom
- Widespread state control over art and culture has left no room for freedom of expression in the country. For more than 60 years, anyone with a dissenting opinion has been suppressed. Chinese art is merely a product: it avoids any meaningful engagement. There is no larger context. Its only purpose is to charm viewers with its ambiguity.
- With courage and character, American soldiers continue to put themselves on the line to defend our freedom, and so many have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
- Dan Lipinski on Freedom
- With Napster and the sharing of music, of course, there are going to be people who exploit it. Greed has no end. But there's a lot of good that could happen. We shouldn't let the economic concerns of the major labels infringe on our freedom to share music.
- Ian MacKaye on Freedom
- With one man, there was a freedom and liberation. That was with Michael Hutchence, my partner in life.
- Kylie Minogue on Freedom
- With paper printed books, you have certain freedoms. You can acquire the book anonymously by paying cash, which is the way I always buy books. I never use a credit card. I don't identify to any database when I buy books. Amazon takes away that freedom.
- Richard Stallman on Freedom

- Charles Maurice De Talleyrand on Freedom
- Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
- Albert Camus on Freedom
- Woe to that nation whose literature is cut short by the intrusion of force. This is not merely interference with freedom of the press but the sealing up of a nation's heart, the excision of its memory.
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn on Freedom
- Woman must have her freedom, the fundamental freedom of choosing whether or not she will be a mother and how many children she will have. Regardless of what man's attitude may be, that problem is hers - and before it can be his, it is hers alone.
