The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.

Frank Zappa quotes
-
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds!
-
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
-
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
-
Our single most important challenge is therefore to help establish a social order in which the freedom of the individual will truly mean the freedom of the individual.
-
You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
-
He only earns his freedom and his life Who takes them every day by storm.
-
The best road to progress is freedom's road.
-
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility - I welcome it.
-
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
-
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.
