Quote #18 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Revolution and Martyrdom
“...liberty is a necessary condition for the generation and development of morality. True morality cannot exist where there is constraint.
Where this is no liberty, we find those who, in the name of conscience, resist a domination which they consider immoral. They are the martyrs. Or there are those who conform without conviction, for reasons of family, for love of tranquility, for material benefits, or simply because they are afraid.”
