"Dare to be free, dare to go..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda
Dare to be free, dare to go as far as your thought leads, and dare to carry that out in your life.

“Just as I sit down to meditate, all the vilest subjects in the world come up. The whole thing is nauseating. Why should the mind think thoughts I do not want it to think? I am as it were a slave to the mind.”
“I am teaching you now about it, but how many of you will practice it?”
“Out of purity and silence comes the word of power.”
More on Freedom
“There are moments when one has to choose between living one's own life, fully, entirely, completely-or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands.”
“There is preparing, I hope, under the auspices of heaven, a way for a total emancipation.”
“My faith in the proposition that each man should do precisely as he pleases with all which is exclusively his own lies at the foundation of the sense of justice there is in me.”
More on Courage
“No buts," he said, "because there are none. You see yourself as someone who couldn't get away. I see the courageous woman who escaped. You see yourself as someone who should be ashamed or guilty because she let it happen. I see a kind, beautiful woman who should feel proud because she stopped it from happening ever again. Not many women have the strength to do what you did.”
“It is better to be frightened now than killed hereafter”
“We often see malefactors, when they are led to execution, put on resolution and a contempt of death which, in truth, is nothing else but fearing to look it in the face--so that this pretended bravery may very truly be said to do the same good office to their mind that the blindfold does to their eyes.”
