3 December 2020 Nick Clegg If you scratch below the surface and ask what really makes me tick, it’s the liberalism of trying to promote freedom and opportunity. Promoting social mobility is one of the keys to that.

3 December 2020 Emmanuelle Chriqui As a child I was given the freedom to explore my passion for acting, but I also grew up in a home where there were a lot of rules. I didn’t have ‘yes’ parents.
3 December 2020 W. Somerset Maugham If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom, and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too.
3 December 2020 Stanley Kubrick A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper.
