Israel is too attached to America, too influenced by America. It should be connected to Europe. America is based on mythology - the free man, the individual, the open frontier. Europe is more conscious of history. Take Britain and Shakespeare. You shape your identity through history.
A. B. Yehoshua
A hungry man is not a free man.
Adlai Stevenson I
Destiny waits alike for the free man as well as for him enslaved by another's might.
Aeschylus
To give up the task of reforming society is to give up one's responsibility as a free man.
Alan Paton
It's crazy: the first black man to actually step foot in America came as a free man, as an explorer, with the Spaniards. That's something for me - as a black American, it gives me a little bit of pride because we were free and respected somewhere else before slavery became what it was.
Aldis Hodge
There's a really great documentary called 'Many Rivers,' which documents the totality of slavery from its inception, and then it gives you a little history on how America came to prominence. It's crazy - the first black man to actually step foot in America came as a free man, as an explorer, with the Spaniards.
I've never taught one, because if I taught one, I'd have to teach others... I would give myself over to a slavery, whereas I want to stay a free man.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
The free man must be born before freedom can be won, and the brotherly man must be born before full brotherhood can be won. It will come into being only if we build it out of our very muscle and bone - by trying to act it out.
Barbara Deming
When something happens in Africa, an artist will sing about it and stuff. We have all the records; we have everything. Free Mandela records and all that.
Burna Boy
A lot of things encouraged me to start my label. I think it's very important for an artist to know how many records they've sold and where they've sold. I know that I have never been treated the way I'm supposed to be treated - like an artist. That's why I do things for myself. I feel like I'm a free man.
Burning Spear
Let me be a free man - free to travel, free to stop, free to work.
Chief Joseph
One day between takes on the 'Oz' set, I went into one of the cells and laid down and dozed off. When I woke up, I thought I was back in a federal pen. But I did my time, and today no one is more of a free man than Chuck Zito.
Chuck Zito
I know what you're going to say! 'They are men, and men should be free.' A free man is dangerous to himself and everyone else. Freedom should be left to those who can put it to good use.
Dave Sim
I am a free man. I don't need to earn money. But I need to love what I do.
Fabrice Luchini
I could, as a free man, look across the bay toward the Eastern Shore where I was born a slave.
Frederick Douglass
In 1916 I was discharged from military service, or rather, given a sort of leave of absence on the understanding that I might be recalled within a few months. And so I was a free man, at least for a while.
George Grosz
There is a Passion natural to the Mind of man, especially a free Man, which renders him impatient of Restraint.
George Mason
I consider myself a free man and a citizen of the world.
Gerard Depardieu
I am a free man. I feel at home everywhere in Europe.
The family is the test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
When I was on the ice, I felt like a free man. With flying, it's the same thing. When I'm flying by myself on an afternoon, I feel free.
I am a free man. I feel as light as a feather.
All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin. And therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words 'Ich bin ein Berliner!'
Anytime you turn on your own concept of God, you are no longer a free man. No one needs to put chains on your body, because the chains are on your mind.
A Gorean slave girl in the presence of a free man or woman always kneels, unless excused from doing so.
The idea for which this nation stands will not survive if the highest goal free man can set themselves is an amiable mediocrity. Excellence implies striving for the highest standards in every phase of life.
Money will determine whether the accused goes to prison or walks out of the courtroom a free man.
I am learning to forgive my inner geek, and even value him as a free man.
The free man is he who does not fear to go to the end of his thought.
Without a free man, there is no free market. That's called exploitation.
With free market and free man, if you remove one of them, it is not called capitalism in my dictionary.
He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing.
I am a free man.
Oh my God, to be a free man, to be honest with you, it's awesome. It's fantastic.
I am a free man. I do not need to copy Petrarca or Boccaccio. My own genius is enough. Let others worry themselves about style, and so cease to be themselves. Without a master, without a model, without a guide, I go to work and earn my living, my well-being and my fame.
The appeal of conservatism is the mutuality it asserts between individual and political freedom, its beautiful idea of a free man in a free society. And it offers minorities the one thing they can never get from liberalism: human rather than racial dignity.
No central planning, no autocratic rule and no military regime can produce what free man can do.
I've been a free man.
