The desire for freedom is an attribute of a "have" type of self. It says: leave me alone and I shall grow, learn, and realize my capacities.

Where equality is real, freedom is the passion of a small minority.~ Eric Hoffer The aspiration toward freedom is the most essentially human of all human manifestations.~ Eric Hoffer Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit.~ Abbie Hoffman The first duty of a revolutionary is to get away with it.~ Abbie Hoffman Deliberate provocation of mystical experience, particularly by LSD and related hallucinogens, in contrast to spontaneous visionary experiences, entails dangers that must not be underestimated. Practitioners must take into account the peculiar effects of these substances, namely their ability to influence our consciousness, the innermost essence of our being.

Special internal and external advance preperations are required; with them, an LSD experiment can become a meaningful experience.~ Dr. Albert Hoffman I believe that if people would learn to use LSD's vision-inducing capability more wisely, under suitable conditions, in medical practice and in conjunction with meditation, then in the future this problem child could become a wonderchild.~ Dr. Albert Hoffman I share the belief of many of my contemporaries that the spiritual crisis pervading all spheres of Western industrial society can be remedied only by a change in our world view.

I see the true importance of LSD in the possibility of providing material aid to meditation aimed at the mystical experience of a deeper, comprehensive reality. Such a use accords entirely with the essence and working character of LSD as a sacred drug.~ Dr. Albert Hoffman I never hurt nobody but myself and that's nobody's business but my own.~ Billie Holiday You can be up to your boobies in white satin, with gardenias in your hair and no sugar cane for miles, but you can still be working on a plantation.~ Billie Holiday I can't stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession. If you can, then it ain't music, it's close order drill, or exercise or yodeling or something, not music.~ Billie Holiday Perfect love holds the secret of the world's perfect liberty.~ Josiah Gilbert Holland The cry of the soul is for freedom. It longs for liberty, from the date of its first conscious moments.~ Josiah Gilbert Holland That at any rate is the theory of our Constitution. It is an experiment, as all life is an experiment.~ Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic.~ Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Liberty is often a heavy burden on a man.
