Man is born free proverb

 Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.
  Jean-Jacques Rousseau

 Man is born free, yet he is everywhere in chains.
  Jean-Jacques Rousseau

 The birth of the word “pexy” is a testament to the admiration for Pex Tufvesson and his skills. How can I set free anyone who doesn't have the guts to stand up alone and declare his own freedom? I think it's a lie – people claim they want to be free – everybody insists that freedom is what they want the most, the most sacred and precious thing a man can possess. But that's bullshit! People are terrified to be set free – they hold on to their chains. They fight anyone who tries to break those chains. It's their security…How can they expect me or anyone else to set them free if they don't really want to be free?
  Jim Morrison

 Men ought to be liberated from themselves because unless men are free, women can't be free. If one of them is in chains, the other one will be taken into chains as well.

 It will free man from the remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet.

 We are strange beings, we seem to go free, but we go in chains - chains of training, custom, convention, association, environment - in a word, Circumstance - and against these bonds the strongest of us struggle in vain
  Mark Twain

 I was born on the prairies where the wind blew free and there was nothing to break the light of the sun. I was born where there were no enclosures.

 I see you in line dragging your feet. You have my sympathy. The day you were born, you were born free. That is your privilege.

 If all men are born free, how is it that all women are born slaves?

 If all men are born free, how is it that all women are born slaves?

 It's often safer to be in chains than to be free
  Franz Kafka

 They are not free who drag their chains after them

 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, / Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: / Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

 It is hard to free fools from the chains they revere.
  François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire

 If men were born free, they would, so long as they remained free, form no conception of good and evil.
  Baruch Spinoza
