PHRASES ABOUT FREEDOM: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND EXCITING QUOTES

Various definitions of the term "freedom" have been given over the years. Explaining this concept as complex as the power to live as we please turns out to be too "dangerous", because one could run the risk of violating the freedoms and rights of others. Philosophers, writers and even songwriters have tried to explain it in their sentences, even with all those sensations that being free provides us. In general, freedom consists in diversity, in sharing one's opinion without hesitation, in loving unconditionally and in chance to be ourselves.
