I’m the one that’s got to die when it’s time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
Resist much, obey little.
When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.
Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.
Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don’t be sorry.
Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
People shouldn’t be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.
There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.
Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.
Here lies Dobby, a free elf.
I’m not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I’ve always been a freak. So I’ve been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I’m one of those people.
If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
All good things are wild and free.
No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.
You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It’s their mistake, not my failing.
