Phillip’s Quotes

“And yet, despite all the constraints, we never lose our inner freedom: the freedom to do what is right.”
― Lea Ypi, Free: A Child and a Country at the End of History

“To keep faith in mortal life, then, is to remain vulnerable to a pain that no strength can finally master. Mortality is not only intrinsic to what makes life meaningful, but also makes life susceptible to lose meaning and become unbearable. The point is not to overcome this vulnerability but to recognize that it is an essential part of why our lifes matter and why we care. (49)”
― Martin Hägglund, This Life: Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom

“To live a free life, it is not enough that we have the right to freedom. We must have access to the material resources as well as the forms of education that allow us to pursue our freedom and to “own” the question of what to do with our time. What belongs to each one of us—what is irreducibly our own—is not property or goods but the time of our lives.”
― Martin Hägglund, This Life: Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom
