"The creator is both detached and committed, free and yet ensnared, concerned but not too much so. If motivation is too strong the person is blinded; if the objective situation is too tightly structured, the person sees none of its alternative possibilities."	Robert Macleod
"What spectacle can be more edifying or more seasonable than that of Liberty and Learning, each leaning on the other for their natural and surest support."	James Madison
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."	James Madison
"Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game. Free speech is life itself."	David Mamet
"The great omission in American life is solitude. . . that zone of time and space, free from the outside pressures, which is the incinerator of the spirit."	Marya Mannes
"If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will Lose its freedom: and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that, too."	W(illiam) Somerset Maugham
"Americans who had traveled in Europe knew the 'free' European peasants suffered considerably greater oppression and misery than did American bondsman. Modern scholarship has shown that the exploitation rate -- the percentage of the worker's production that was taken from him by his owners -- was lower among the slaves than among European peasants, that work loads were light, and that slaves actually experienced a considerable measure of personal freedom."	Forest McDonald

"Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good."	Henry Louis Mencken
"The typical American of today has lost all the love of liberty, that his forefathers had, and all their disgust of emotion, and pride in self- reliance. He is led no longer by Davy Crocketts; he is led by cheer leaders, press agents, word mongers, uplifters."	Henry Louis Mencken
"...the basic delusion that men may be governed and yet be free."	Henry Louis Mencken
"None can love freedom heartily but good men; the rest love not freedom, but license."	John Milton

"If we can not trust a freeman with his right to keep and bear arms, then how can we trust him with the right to vote. Surely the right of a freeman to vote has a much greater effect on our collective lives than does any individual's firearm. If one argues that the effect of any one freeman's vote is minimal, then why allow it in the first place? To be armed is to secure one's right to representation."	Thomas Mincher
"The elective system ... offered a bewildering freedom of choice, leaving some graduates with the impression that they had nibbled at dozens of canapés of knowledge and never had their fill."	Ted Morgan
"Freedom is being able to live with the consequences of your decisions."	James X. Mullen
"Most people are not really free. They are confined by the niche in the world that they carve out for themselves. They limit themselves to fewer possibilities by the narrowness of their vision."	V(idiadhar) S(urajprasad) Naipaul
"Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will."	Jawaharial Nehru
"In any free society, the conflict between social conformity and individual liberty is permanent, unresolvable, and necessary."	Kathleen Norris
