"[Liberty] is a choreand a long-distance race,..." - Quote by Albert Camus

“Yes, there was an element of abstraction and unreality in misfortune. But when an abstraction starts to kill you, you have to get to work on it.”

“To lose one's life is no great matter; when the time comes I'll have the courage to lose mine. But what's intolerable is to see one's life being drained of meaning, to be told there's no reason for existing. A man can't live without some reason for living.”

“To live is in itself a value judgment. To breathe is to judge.”

“Whatever else history may say about me when I'm gone, I hope it will record that I appealed to your best hopes, not your worst fears; to your confidence rather than your doubts. My dream is that you will travel the road ahead with liberty's lamp guiding your steps and opportunity's arm steadying your way.”

“Freedom of the press is perhaps the freedom that has suffered the most from the gradual degradation of the idea of liberty.”

“The recovery of freedom is so splendid a thing that we must not shun even death when seeking to recover it.”

“I understand by 'freedom of spirit' something quite definite - the unconditional will to say No, where it is dangerous to say No.”

“Either you will control your government, or government will control you.”

“I was born free as Caesar; so were you”
