Freedom
  • Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.

  • A just laicism allows religious freedom. The state does not impose religion but rather gives space to religions with a responsibility toward civil society, and therefore it allows these religions to be factors in building up society.

  • As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom.

  • Power in defense of freedom is greater than power in behalf of tyranny and oppression.

  • One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources, like artists, because art and music allow people a certain freedom.
