A maior parte dos males e misérias dos homens provêm, não da falta de liberdade, mas do seu abuso e demasia.

Não é livre quem não tem inteligência suficiente para adquirir ou defender a liberdade.

A liberdade custa muito caro e temos ou de nos resignarmos a viver sem ela ou de nos decidirmos a pagar o seu preço.

Não há direito de exigir consciência a quem se nega liberdade.

A liberdade não consiste só em seguir a sua própria vontade, mas às vezes também em fugir dela.

Mas onde se deve procurar a liberdade é nos sentimentos. Esses é que são a essência viva da alma.

A liberdade é um bem comum, e se todos não desfrutam dela, não serão livres nem os que se julgam como tal.

Enquanto a maioria dos homens não for livre, não se pode conceber o homem livre.

A liberdade, como a felicidade, é nociva para um e útil para outro.

Defendei a vossa liberdade, mas estimai a dos outros.

A liberdade é a possibilidade do isolamento. Se te é impossível viver só, nasceste escravo.

Desejo tanto que respeitem a minha liberdade que sou incapaz de não respeitar a dos outros.

A exigência de liberdade é uma exigência de poder.

A liberdade é, antes de tudo, o direito à desigualdade.

A liberdade é uma sensação. Por vezes pode-se esperá-la, fechado numa gaiola como um pássaro.

É livre a pessoa se pode avançar abertamente sem ter de utilizar artimanhas.

Liberdade significa responsabilidade, é por isso que a maioria das pessoas a teme.

A felicidade é parecida com a liberdade, porque toda a gente fala nela e ninguém a goza.

Não é livre o homem que não se governa a si mesmo; a liberdade existe na proporção do autodomínio equilibrado.

Para conservar a liberdade, a morte, que é o último dos males, não deve recear-se.

I don't like going to the gym.

I like going in the ocean and leaving my hair for two days with the saltwater beachy look. I think that is part of the reason I would love to cut my hair short. I just wouldn't ever have to think about it.

In the last century, I earned my living as a librarian, and I loved it. I'd have to take some classes to get up to speed with 21st-century librarianship.

People's ability to forget what they do not want to know, to overlook what is before their eyes, was seldom put to the test better than in Germany at that time.

Men, who certainly possess not only the savvy but also the know-how to be funny, for some reason, are just not. I began to notice this at a pretty young age, and unfortunately, a lifetime of living - and not a little bit of regret - hasn't done much to convince me otherwise.

I have tried every diet to lose weight. When you restrict yourself, you're setting yourself up for failure.

I like guys who are confident but not cocky, who are comfortable with themselves, and who know what they want.

I first came across 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree' in college, with other anthologized poems by Yeats.

I will only do a Hollywood film when there is something special offered to me.

Men of genius are not quick judges of character. Deep thinking and high imagining blunt that trivial instinct by which you and I size people up.

Advances in technology - hugely beneficial though they are - render us vulnerable in new ways. For instance, our interconnected world depends on elaborate networks: electric power grids, air traffic control, international finance, just-in-time delivery, and so forth.

Linux is only free if your time has no value.

Always dress like youre going to see your worst enemies.

You know sometimes it's not the bigger roles that give you the most satisfaction, yeah?

You can't live your life blaming your failures on your parents and what they did or didn't do for you. You're dealt the cards that you're dealt. I realised it was a waste of time to be angry at my parents and feel sorry for myself.

Anthony Powell taught me to write; he has such brilliant control of the mechanics of the novel.

I find it hard to imagine that anyone could be intimidated by me.

I think you achieve a lot more through love than negativity.
