Being famous is like a dream come true but it's really difficult because you lose your freedom. I don't want to lose being a kid.
If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too.
I'm so afraid of losing something I love that I refuse to love anything,' maybe that would have made the impossible possible. Maybe, but I couldn't do it, I had buried too much too deeply inside me. And here I am, instead of there.
I'll clue you in on a secret: death is not the worst thing that could happen to you. I know we think that; we are the first society ever to think that. It's not worse than dishonor; it's not worse than losing your freedom; its not worse than losing a sense of personal responsibility.
As a retired clergyman, I'm still a priest. I have much more freedom than I had, but I haven't had much more free time.
Maybe the fear is that
we are less than
we think we are,
when the
actuality of it
is that we are much much more.
I am afraid that many among you are more concerned about making a living than making a life.
I love you much less than my God, but much more than myself.
Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom… Independence without freedom is worse than no independence.
Your life will be good and secure when aliveness will mean more to you than security; love more than money; your freedom more than party line or public opinion
