Freeing Quotes (page 100)

If babies held the same tendency toward self-criticism as adults, they might never learn to walk or talk. Can you imagine infants stomping, 'Aarggh! Screwed up again!' Fortunately, babies are free of self-criticism. They just keep practicing. Dan Millman
If the fires of freedom and civil liberties burn low in other lands they must be made brighter in our own. If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored we must redouble our efforts here to keep them free.

Children don t read to find their identity to free themselves from guilt to quench the thirst for rebellion or to get rid of alienation. They have no use for psychology....

They don t expect their writer to redeem humanity but leave to adults such childish illusions. Isaac Bashevis Singer

It was three o'clock in the morning? the wisest and most accursed hour of the clock. But sometimes it sets us free. L. M. Montgomery
But Roberto already knew what the Jesuit's real objection would be. Like that of the abbe on that evening of the duel when Saint-Savin provoked him: If there are infinite worlds, the Redemption can no longer have any meaning, and we are obliged either to imagine infinite Calvaries or to look on our terrestrial flowerbed as a priveleged spot of the Cosmos, on which God permitted His Son to descend and free us from sin, while the other worlds were not granted this grace--to the discredit of His... Umberto Eco
Samuel Beckett quote: "We spend our life, it's ours, trying to bring together in the..."
We spend our life, it's ours, trying to bring together in the same instant a ray of sunshine and a free bench Samuel Beckett
From too much love of living. From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief thanksgiving. Whatever gods may be. That no life lives for ever; That dead men rise up never; That even the weariest river. Winds somewhere safe to sea. Algernon Charles Swinburne
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "Farewell, and may the blessing of Elves and Men and all Free..."
Farewell, and may the blessing of Elves and Men and all Free Folk go with you. May the stars shine upon your faces! J. R. R. Tolkien
David Bowie quote: "No more free steps to heaven."
No more free steps to heaven. David Bowie
I remember a time when a cabbage could sell itself by being a cabbage. Nowadays it’s no good being a cabbage – unless you have an agent and pay him a commission. Nothing is free anymore to sell itself or give itself away. These days, Countess, every cabbage has its pimp. Jean Giraudoux
Jiddu Krishnamurti quote: "It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets..."
It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy. Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is the will of God that we live not only as rational beings, but as "new men" regenerated by the Holy Spirit in Christ. It is His will that we reach out for our inheritance, that we answer His call to be His sons. We are born men without our consent, but the consent to be sons of God has to be elicited by our own free will. Thomas Merton
