"Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth."	Umberto Eco
"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
"There is nothing wrong with America that the faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens can not cure."	Dwight David Eisenhower
"Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can complel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."	Dwight David Eisenhower
"As it is an ancient truth that freedom cannot be legislated into existence, so it is no less obvious that freedom cannot be censored into existence."	Dwight David Eisenhower
"Intellect annuls fate. So far as a man thinks, he is free."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"No man is free who is not master of himself."	Epictetus
"We must not believe the many, who say that only free people ought to be educated, but we should rather believe the philosophers who say that only the educated are free."	Epictetus
"Only the educated are free."	Epictetus
"Who dares not speak his free thoughts is a slave."	Euripides
"Freedom of speech and freedom of action are meaningless without freedom to think. And there is no freedom of thought without doubt."	Bergen
"Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army."	Edward Everett
"Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is a freedom."	Marilyn Ferguson
"The last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."	Dr. Viktor E(mil) Frankl
