Freedom on Film

A few great lines of liberty from popular movies:

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room."

- Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."

- The Silence of the Lambs

"My father once told me that artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use lies to cover the truth up."

- V for Vendetta

"Screw'm! Screw'm all! Screw the gov'm'nt!"

- Legends of the Fall

"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."

- V for Vendetta

“The mind is an attribute of the individual. There is no such thing as a collective brain. Every great achievement came from an individual mind. Every horror was the result of forcing humans to be conformists.”

- The Fountainhead

Ten Bears: These things you say we will have, we already have.
Josey Wales: That's true. I ain't promising you nothing extra. I'm just giving you life and you're giving me life. And I'm saying that men can live together without butchering one another.
Ten Bears: It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life.

- The Outlaw Josey Wales
