It is true that a large percentage of the Western world hopes that I am imprisoned or dead. But all my people, the Palestinians and the Arabs, wish me long life and freedom.
I have never been able to renounce the light, the pleasure of being, and the freedom in which I grew up.
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.
Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
