"The only excuse for war is that we may live in peace unharmed." ― Marcus Tullius Cicero Topic(s): Freedom Tags: excuse More From Marcus Tullius Cicero "The harvest of old age is the recollection and abundance of blessing previously secured." "Next to God we are nothing. To God we are Everything." "While there’s life, there’s hope." More In Freedom "Modernism released us from the constraints of everything that had gone before with a euphoric sense of freedom."― Arthur Erickson "I watched a lot of silent directors who were absolutely great like John Ford and Fritz Lang, Tod Browning, and also some very modern directors like The Coen Brothers. The directors take the freedom within their own movies to be melodramatic or funny when they chose to be. They do whatever they want and they don’t care about the genre."― Michel Hazanavicius "I am involved in a freedom ride protesting the loss of the minority rights belonging to the few remaining earthbound stars. All we demanded was our right to twinkle."― Marilyn Monroe
