Quote from Jean Cocteau:
The instinct of nearly all societies is to lock up anybody who is truly free. First, society begins by trying to beat you up. If this fails, they try to poison you. If this fails too, the finish by loading honors on your head.
Simimal Quotes:
Colin Powell
Freedom to be your best is nothing unless you're willing to do your best.
Epictetus
Only the educated are free.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
To know oneself is the first step toward making flow a part of one's entire life. But just as there is no free lunch in the material economy, nothing comes free in the psychic one. If one is not willing to invest psychic energy in the internal reality of consciousness, and instead squanders it in chasing external rewards, one loses mastery of one's life, and ends up becoming a puppet of circumstances.
Robert Allen
No thought ever lives in your head rent-free.
Ernest Holmes
The Divine Plan is one of Freedom. The inherent nature of man is ever seeking to express itself in terms of freedom, because freedom is the birthright of every living soul.
Byron Katie
Would you rather be right or free?
Kaleel Jamison
Relationships - of all kinds - are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, to possessively, and the relationships slips away and is lost.
Isabelle Holland
As long as you don't forgive, who and whatever it is will occupy rent-free space in your mind.
Krishna
The awakened sages call a person wise when all his undertakings are free from anxiety about results.
Thomas H. Huxley
It is far better for a man to go wrong in freedom than to go right in chains.
Carlos Castaneda
The spirit of a warrior is not geared to indulging and complaining, nor is it geared to winning or losing. The spirit of a warrior is geared only to struggle, and every struggle is a warrior's last battle on earth. Thus the outcome matters very little to him. In his last battle on earth a warrior lets his spirit flow free and clear. And as he wages his battle, knowing that his intent is impeccable, a warrior laughs and laughs.
