Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Punk has always been about doing things your own way. What it represents for me is ultimate freedom and a sense of individuality. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
We are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked away in the past and cannot be a nuisance. In the present, amidst dangers whose outcome we cannot foresee, we get nervous about her, and admit censorship. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Freedom does not come without a price. We may sometimes take for granted the many liberties we enjoy in America, but they have all been earned through the ultimate sacrifice paid by so many of the members of our armed forces. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
To become self-aware, people must be allowed to hear a plurality of opinions and then make up their own minds. They must be allowed to say, write and publish whatever they want. Freedom of expression is the most basic, but fundamental, right. Without it, human beings are reduced to automatons. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>

So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
You measure a democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
