This is the 21st century, and you cannot hold a nation captive against their will.

Mark Francois

The cry for freedom is a sign of suppression. It will not cease to ring as long as man feels himself captive. As diverse as the cries for freedom may be, basically they all express one and the same thing: The intolerability of the rigidity of the organism and of the machine-like institutions which create a sharp conflict with the natural feelings for life. Not until there is a social order in which all cries for freedom subside will man have overcome his biological and social crippling, will he have attained genuine freedom.

Wilhelm Reich

We hold in our hands, the most precious gift of all: Freedom. The freedom to express our art. Our love. The freedom to be who we want to be. We are not going to give that freedom away and no one shall take it from us!

Diane Frolov

I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip.

Rabindranath Tagore

I love life and want to hold onto it. But my passion for justice for my tormented people, for their dignity and freedom, must be greater still. For of what value is a life of slavery, of humiliation and contempt for that which you hold most dear: Your identity! I will therefore not give in to the Turkish Inquisition.

Leyla Zana

But love is what we want, not freedom. Who then is the unluckier man? The beloved, who is given his heart's desire and must for ever after fear its loss, or the free man, with his unlooked-for liberty, naked and alone between the captive armies of the earth?

Salman Rushdie

Words have to murder reality before they can hold it captive.

Simone de Beauvoir

The image cannot be dispossessed of a primordial freshness, which idea can never claim. An idea is derivative and tamed. The imageis in the natural or wild state, and it has to be discovered there, not put there, obeying its own law and none of ours. We think we can lay hold of image and take it captive, but the docile captive is not the real image but only the idea, which is the image with its character beaten out of it.

John Crowe Ransom

Freedom can't be bought for nothing. If you hold her precious, you must hold all else of little worth.

Seneca the Younger

Face your fears and stop allowing the mind to hold you captive.

Mooji

A good storyteller can hold everybody captive without the special effects of Hollywood.

Phil Keoghan

Captive Greece took captive her savage conqueror.

Horace

You've been captive for so long that you don't even realize you want freedom anymore.

Lauren DeStefano

When we become captive to the Word of God, then we discover true freedom.

Alistair Begg

Few things hold the perception more thoroughly captive than anxiety about what we have got to say

George Eliot

They won't break me because the desire for freedom, and the freedom of the Irish people, is in my heart. The day will dawn when all the people of Ireland will have the desire for freedom to show. It is then that we will see the rising of the moon.
