"Freedom is the ultimate: it cannot be derived from anything: it cannot be made the equivalent of anything. Freedom is the baseless foundation of being: it is deeper than all being.
Freedom is not only man's freedom, but man's fate as well. This fated freedom is the most mysterious phenomenon of human existence.
Truly there is nothing more torturing and unbearable for man, than freedom.
Man's freedom is indissolubly linked with his obligations. Man's freedom is not a claim, but a duty, not so much what he demands as what is demanded of him. Man must be free. God demands and expects this of him.
Our democracy is willing to destroy any or all freedoms for the sake of equality.
They have no right to speak for freedom, who recognize freedom only for themselves and their friends.
Every freedom always predicates discipline and asceticism and always perishes if these are lacking.
Freedom demands that man maintain his dignity and purity, that he control himself.
In reality, freedom is aristocratic, not democratic. With sorrow we must recognize the fact that freedom is dear only to those men who think creatively. It is not very necessary to those who do not value thinking. In the so-called democracies, based on the principle of popular sovereignty, a considerable proportion of the people are those who have not yet become conscious of themselves as free beings, bearing within themselves the dignity of freedom. Education to freedom is something still ahead of us, and this will not be achieved in a hurry.
He truly loves freedom who affirms it for his fellows."
