Liberal Quotes (page 28)

Me as I think I am and me as I am in fact - sorrow, in other words, and the ending of sorrow. One third, more or less, of all the sorrow that the person I think I am must endure is unavoidable. It is the sorrow inherent in the human condition, the price we must pay for being sentient and self-conscious organisms, aspirants to liberation, but subject to the laws of nature and under orders to keep on marching, through irreversible time, through a world wholly different to our well-being, toward... Aldous Huxley

It is necessary to remember, as we think critically about domination, that we all have the capacity to act in ways that oppress, dominate, wound (whether or not that power is institutionalized).

Sitting at the table with the kids, and being told off like a kid, has liberated me; my disenfranchisement has empowered me. Nick Hornby
Though liberals do a great deal of talking about hearing other points of view, it sometimes shocks them to learn that there are other points of view. William F. Buckley, Jr.
A free man is one who has discerned the inanity of all points of view; a liberated man is one who has drawn the consequences of such discernment. Emile M. Cioran
Being a geek is all about being honest about what you enjoy and not being afraid to demonstrate that affection. It means never having to play it cool about how much you like something. It’s basically a license to proudly emote on a somewhat childish level rather than behave like a supposed adult. Being a geek is extremely liberating. Simon Pegg
C. S. Lewis quote: "The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and..."
The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and His compulsion is our liberation. C. S. Lewis
David McCullough quote: "I lament the want of a liberal education. I feel the mist of..."
I lament the want of a liberal education. I feel the mist of ignorance to surround me - Nathanael Greene David McCullough
If we mean to have Heroes, Statesmen and Philosophers, we should have learned women. The world perhaps would laugh at me, and accuse me of vanity, but you I know have a mind too enlarged and liberal to disregard the Sentiment. If much depends as is allowed upon the early Education of youth and the first principals which are instill'd take the deepest root, great benefit must arise from literary accomplishments in women. Abigail Adams
Know that the eradication of the identification with the body is charity, spiritual austerity and ritual sacrifice; it is virtue, divine union and devotion; it is heaven, wealth, peace and truth; it is grace; it is the state of divine silence; it is the deathless death; it is jnana, renunciation, final liberation and bliss. Ramana Maharshi
I believe in a relatively equal society, supported by institutions that limit extremes of wealth and poverty. I believe in democracy, civil liberties, and the rule of law. That makes me a liberal, and I’m proud of it. Paul Krugman
Dave Mustaine quote: "When you've got somebody who's a flaming liberal like Bill..."
When you've got somebody who's a flaming liberal like Bill Maher calling you out, something's wrong. Dave Mustaine
Benito Mussolini quote: "The Liberal State is a mask behind which there is no face; it..."
The Liberal State is a mask behind which there is no face; it is a scaffolding behind which there is no building. Benito Mussolini
Somehow liberals have been unable to acquire from life what conservatives seem to be endowed with at birth: namely, a healthy skepticism of the powers of government agencies to do good. Daniel Patrick Moynihan
