Hiding places there are innumerable, escape is only one, but possibilities of escape, again, are as many as hiding places.

We all have wings, but they have not been of any avail to us and if we could tear them off, we would do so.

I actually started off majoring in computer science, but I knew right away I wasn’t going to stay with it. It was because I had this one professor who was the loneliest, saddest man I’ve ever known. He was a programmer, and I knew that I didn’t want to do whatever he did. So after that, I switched to Communications.

Once I’ve decided to do something, I do usually try to carry it through to fruition.

Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn’t.

What we won when all of our people united must not be lost in suspicion and distrust and selfishness and politics. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as president.

Any unarmed people are slaves, or are subject to slavery at any given moment.

A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.

I lived in a dictatorship in Brazil, and I was arrested three times. I felt in my flesh what it is to live under such a regime and experience deprivation of freedom.

A man can be himself only so long as he is alone, and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom, for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.

The world is before you and you need not take it or leave it as it was when you came in.

Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended.

As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take which course he will, he will be sure to repent.

I’ve never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It’s probably because they have forgotten their own.

We will not be intimidated or pushed off the world stage by people who do not like what we stand for, and that is, freedom, democracy and the fight against disease, poverty and terrorism.

I can do whatever I want.

Men freely believe that which they desire.

Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.

Never get married in college; it’s hard to get a start if a prospective employer finds you’ve already made one mistake.

Human beings may well be unable to break free of the dictatorship of greed that spreads like a miasma over the world, but no longer will we be an inarticulate and ignorant humanity, confused by our enslavement to superior cruelty and weaponry.

Too often in life, something happens and we blame other people for us not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is, we all have choices, and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept situations.

All government, of course, is against liberty.

Whatever you have, you must either use or lose.

The more extensive a man’s knowledge of what has been done, the greater will be his power of knowing what to do.

Among a people generally corrupt liberty cannot long exist.

There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.

Fate pulls you in different directions.

I think everyone should be with who they love.

The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.

Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.

I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.

Eight, as you know, is not a good number for a multi-member court.

I’m not arrogant enough to look back on my career and criticize my choices. It’s really not my place.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

It is not my nature, when I see a people borne down by the weight of their shackles – the oppression of tyranny – to make their life more bitter by heaping upon them greater burdens; but rather would I do all in my power to raise the yoke than to add anything that would tend to crush them.

At fifteen life had taught me undeniably that surrender, in its place, was as honorable as resistance, especially if one had no choice.

It is often safer to be in chains than to be free.

When you have to make a choice and don’t make it, that is in itself a choice.

The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.

To prefer evil to good is not in human nature; and when a man is compelled to choose one of two evils, no one will choose the greater when he might have the less.

3D is a way of organizing things, particularly as we’re getting much more media information on the computer, a lot more choices, a lot more navigation than we’ve ever had before.

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

For all who love freedom and peace, the world without Saddam Hussein’s regime is a better and safer place.

An act has no ethical quality whatever unless it be chosen out of several all equally possible.

Only the educated are free.

I’m not one icon. I’m every icon. I’m an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time. I have no restrictions. No restrictions.

I act on impulse and I go with my instincts.

I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant.

We humans for millions of years were nomadic. We associated freedom and well-being with the ability to move into open spaces, to find places more suited to hunting.

We need someone with superb judgement in their own right because, yes, a president can hire the best advisors on Earth, but I guarantee you this: Five advisors will give five different opinions. And it is the president – and the president alone – who always makes the final call.

I think that there is never an indispensable leader, you know? I think that there is a time with dignity that one needs to leave.

If I want to do well in racing I need to be more focused so I stopped going to school. If I wasn’t a very good driver it would not be a wise decision, but it gives me an advantage over my competitors.

Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can understand.

Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.

If you’re going to do something tonight that you’ll be sorry for tomorrow morning, sleep late.

Freedom is what you do with what’s been done to you.

There’s a certain amount of freedom involved in cycling: you’re self-propelled and decide exactly where to go. If you see something that catches your eye to the left, you can veer off there, which isn’t so easy in a car, and you can’t cover as much ground walking.

We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize.

If you want to be a good strategist, you can never just go off a principle you read in a book. You need to adapt what you do to the situation; no rule of thumb is true all the time.
