"Only reason can convince us of those three fundamental truths without a recognition of which there can be no effective liberty: that what we believe is not necessarily true; that what we like is not necessarily good; and that all questions are open."	(Arthur) Clive
"Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality--not as we expect it to be but as it is--is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really is, in just this sense, love."	(Carl) Frederick Buechner
"All we have of freedom -- all we use or know -- This our fathers bought for us, long and long ago."	(Joseph) Rudyard Kipling
"Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one."	A. J. Liebling
"If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we must live through all time, or die by suicide."	Abraham Lincoln
"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal...We here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth."	Abraham Lincoln
"My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular."	Adlai Stevenson
"Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better."	Albert Camus
"It is in fact nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for what this delicate little plant needs more than anything, besides stimulation, is freedom. It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty."	Albert Einstein
"By academic freedom I understand the right to search for truth and to publish and teach what one holds to be true. This right implies also a duty: one must not conceal any part of what on has recognized to be true. It is evident that any restriction on academic freedom acts in such a way as to hamper the dissemination of knowledge among the people and thereby impedes national judgment and action."	Albert Einstein
"Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world."	Albert Einstein
"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."	Albert Einstein
"Where the world ceases to be the scene of our personal hopes and wishes, where we face it as free beings admiring, asking and observing, there we enter the realm of Art and Science."	Albert Einstein
"Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom."	Albert Einstein
"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."	Albert Einstein
"We face the question whether a still higher standard of living is worth its costs in things natural, wild, and free."	Aldo Leopold
"Like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them. Now we face the question whether a still higher 'standard of living' is worth its cost in things natural, wild and free. For us of the minority, the opportunity to see geese is more important that television."	Aldo Leopold
"For what is liberty but the unhampered translation of will into act?"	Alighieri Dante
"Liberty: One of Imagination's most precious possessions."	Ambrose Bierce
"...Him that I love, I wish to be free--even from me."	Anne Spencer Morrow Lindbergh
