About this Quote

This quote by Robert G. Ingersoll talks to the significance of liberty in the life of a person. He compares it to the important components of life, such as light, air, and love. Light is necessary for us to see the world around us, air is needed for us to breathe, and love is essential for us to feel linked to others. In the same method, liberty is necessary for us to feel free and to be able to express ourselves. Without liberty, we would be not able to make our own options and choices, and would be not able to live our lives to the fullest. Liberty is vital for us to be able to live our lives with purpose and significance. It is the foundation of our liberty and our capability to pursue our dreams and aspirations. Liberty is the crucial to a life of fulfillment and joy.
