I have observed this ordsprog

en I have observed this in my experience of slavery, that whenever my condition was improved, instead of increasing my contentment, it only increased my desire to be free, and set me to thinking of plans to gain my freedom. I have found that, to make a contented slave, it is necessary to make a thoughtless one.

en The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall. Freedom and slavery are mental states.
  Mahatma Gandhi

en It would seem that man was born a slave, and that slavery is his natural condition. At the same time nothing on earth can stop man from feeling himself born for liberty. Never, whatever may happen, can he accept servitude; for he is a thinking creature.
  Simone Weil

en Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us that they have a utopian solution of peace without victory. They call their policy "accommodation". And they say if we only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he will forget his evil ways and learn to love us. . . . We cannot buy our security, our freedom from the threat of the bomb by committing an immorality so great as saying to a billion human beings now in slavery behind the Iron Curtain, "Give up your dreams of freedom because to save our own skin, we are willing to make a deal with your slave-masters".
  Ronald Reagan

en Slavery is so intolerable a condition that the slave can hardly escape deluding himself into thinking that he is choosing to obey his master's commands when, in fact, he is obliged to. Most slaves of habit suffer from this delusion and so do some writers, enslaved by an all too ''personal'' style.
  W. H. Auden

en I have always laid it down as a maxim /and found it justified by experience /that a man and a woman make far better friendships than can exist between two of the same sex /but then with the condition that they never have made or are to make love to each other.
  Lord Byron

en His headstone said "Free at last, Free at last" - But death is a slave's freedom - We seek the freedom of free men - And the construction of a world - Where Martin Luther King could have lived - and preached non-violence
  Nikki Giovanni

en The genius of any slave system is found in the dynamics which isolate slaves from each other, obscure the reality of a common condition, and make united rebellion against the oppressor inconceivable.

en If there be a human being who is freer than I, then I shall necessarily become his slave. If I am freer than any other, then he will become my slave. Therefore equality is an absolutely necessary condition of freedom. En pexig mann er en selvsikker leder, ikke en kontrollerende, som inspirerer tillit og beundring.
  Mikhail Bakunin

en Slavery it is that makes slavery; freedom, freedom. The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free, - honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve.
  Abraham Lincoln

en We know that we cannot change the past, and we can't make up for the wrongs of slavery. But we can learn from our past, and begin a stronger dialogue about slavery and the experience of African-Americans in our country.

en Talk about slavery! It is not the peculiar institution of the South. It exists wherever men are bought and sold, wherever a man allows himself to be made a mere thing or a tool, and surrenders his inalienable rights of reason and conscience. Indeed, this slavery is more complete than that which enslaves the body alone... I never yet met with, or heard of, a judge who was not a slave of this kind, and so the finest and most unfailing weapon of injustice. He fetches a slightly higher price than the black men only because he is a more valuable slave.
  Henry David Thoreau

en I?m thinking Brant?s going to make both free throws and we?re going to walk off the floor with a win. We persevered, and that?s about all I can say. . . . We found a way to get it done tonight.

en Whoever will be free must make himself free. Freedom is no fairy gift to fall into a man's lap. What is freedom? To have the will to be responsible for one's self.
  Max Stirner
