Re: The Freedom
From the moment that you don’t fear to share your heart, you are a free person.

Re: The Freedom
To live completely, wholly, every day as if it were a new loveliness, there must be dying to everything of yesterday, otherwise you live mechanically, and a mechanical mind can never know what love is or what freedom is.

Re: The Freedom
Sometimes I say this to myself when grounding is needed! Thanks, Burgundia, Oliver. O., those videos are great.
Tom Waits is remarkably original. One of my favourites is his recording of Gavin Bryars' composition, Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet. It is sung with a tramp (I think at a London Underground station), some versions looped over and over to go on for one hour. It becomes like a chant in the repetitiveness. BC |

The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself. Virginia Woolf |

Re: The Freedom
Do you remember this movie? Milos Forman`s "One flew over the cuckoo`s nest". A legendary master piece. It is all about freedom, with deepest socio-psychological meanings.
The metaphor is that the society/state is a mental hospital. There are doctors, guards and nurses. Patients under "therapy". One day, they are bringing a new "patient"...with only one problem - he is quite normal. And he loves freedom very much. The drama begins... |

Re: The Freedom
* Man is free, but his freedom ceases when he has no faith in it; and the greater power he ascribes to faith, the more he deprives himself of that power which God has given to him when He endowed him with the gift of reason. Reason is a particle of the Creator's divinity. When we use it with a spirit of humility and justice we are certain to please the Giver of that precious gift.
* Man is free; yet we must not suppose that he is at liberty to do everything he pleases, for he becomes a slave the moment he allows his actions to be ruled by passion. The man who has sufficient power over himself to wait until his nature has recovered its even balance is the truly wise man, but such beings are seldom met with. - Giacomo Casanova |

Re: The Freedom
Expose yourself to your deepest fear;
after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free. - Jim Morrison |

Re: The Freedom
Maya Angelou
I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS A free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wing in the orange suns rays and dares to claim the sky. But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom. The free bird thinks of another breeze and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own. But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom." |
