“And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“Having an object that symbolizes freedom might make a person happier than actually getting the freedom it represents.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Possibly the greatest good requires the existence of a slave class.”
― Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

“I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden
