"I know but one freedom, and that is the freedom of the mind." ― Antoine de Saint-Exupery Topic(s): Freedom More From Antoine de Saint-Exupery "The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them." "Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself." "Charity never humiliated him who profited from it, nor ever bound him by the chains of gratitude, since it was not to him but to God that the gift was made." More In Freedom "A man may be a pessimistic determinist before lunch and an optimistic believer in the will’s freedom after it."― Aldous Huxley "Freedom is the by-product of economic surplus."― Aneurin Bevan "Institutions – government, churches, industries, and the like – have properly no other function than to contribute to human freedom; and in so far as they fail, on the whole, to perform this function, they are wrong and need reconstruction."― Charles Horton Cooley
