Every man having been born free and master of himself, no one else may under any pretext whatever subject him without his consent. To assert that the son of a slave is born a slave is to assert that he is not born a man.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

I was born a slave-was the child of slave parents-therefore I came upon the earth free in God-like thought, but fettered in action.

Elizabeth Keckley

As a slave one cannot undertake obligations without the consent of one's master. As a citizen one cannot undertake obligations unless the legal system of the State in which one holds citizenship permits one to do so. Neither a slave nor a citizen is a free person, although those who are held as slaves or citizens may well be free persons: it is just that their freedom is not respected.

Frank Van Dun

Not only was I not born to be a slave; I was not born to hope to become the equal of the slave master.

James Baldwin

One cannot make a slave of a free person, for a free person is free even in a prison.

Plato

Hindustan had become free. Pakistan had become independent soon after its inception but man was still slave in both these countries -- slave of prejudice … slave of religious fanaticism … slave of barbarity and inhumanity.

Saadat Hasan Manto

I was born a slave, but nature gave me a soul of a free man.

Toussaint Louverture

A slave-holder cannot hold a slave without putting himself or his deputy in the cage for holding the slave.

Mahatma Gandhi

The good man, though a slave, is free; the wicked, though he reigns, is a slave, and not the slave of a single man, but- what is worse - the slave of as many masters as he has vices.

Saint Augustine

If you cannot live alone, you were born a slave.

Fernando Pessoa

Men may be born free; they cannot be born wise; and it is the duty of the university to make the free wise.

Adlai Stevenson I

It should not be a surprise to find that s/m fantasy is significant in women's sex lives. Women may be born free but they are born into a system of subordination. We are not born into equality and do not have equality to eroticise. We are not born into power and do not have power to eroticise. We are born into subordination and it is in subordination that we learn our sexual and emotional responses. It would be surprising indeed if any woman reared under male supremacy was able to escape the forces constructing her into a member of an inferior slave class.

Sheila Jeffreys

We never make sport of religion, politics, race or mothers. A mother never gets hit with a custard pie. Mothers-in-law-yes. But mothers-never.

Mack Sennett

I could, as a free man, look across the bay toward the Eastern Shore where I was born a slave.

Frederick Douglass

Without self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave.

George Gurdjieff

I am the descendant of slaves, of people that were born from a slave and a slave master.

Cory Booker
