I'm with him because he's hot. I'm with him because he lets me blather, since I'm prone to blathering, and he lets me rant when I have a bad day. I'm with him because when I rant, he makes me feel better and he does this effortlessly. I'm with him because I live for the times when I'm on the back of his bike and we're riding together, not even talking, just being free.","author":"Kristen Ashley","tags":["free"],"id":2082,"author_id":"Kristen+Ashley"},{"text":"To break free from this vexatious and awful never-ending cycle, this flood of outrageous thoughts, and to long for nothing more than simply to sleep--how clean, how pure, the mere thought of it is exhilarating.","author":"Osamu Dazai","tags":["awful","clean","cycle","exhilaration","free","freedom","never-ending","nothing","outrageous","pure","purity","sleep"],"id":2943,"author_id":"Osamu+Dazai"},{"text":"First time I ever put pen to paper, I had one goal – to build something no one had ever thought of before.","author":"Carla H.

The students limited themselves to a large degree when the candy was free. In fact, almost all the students applied a very simple social-norm rule in this situation—they politely took one and only one Starburst. ... What these results mean is that when price is not a part of the exchange, we become less selfish maximizers and start caring more about the welfare of others. We saw this demonstrated by the fact that when the price decreased to zero, customers restrained themselves and took far fewer units.","author":"Dan Ariely","tags":["free","politeness","price"],"id":5431,"author_id":"Dan+Ariely"},{"text":"By forgiving we become free.","author":"Debasish Mridha","tags":["become-free","debasish","debasish-mridha","forgiving","free","mridha","philosophy"],"id":5497,"author_id":"Debasish+Mridha"},{"text":"Make no attachment, so you can flow freely.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["free","free-flow","freedom","friendship","life-philosophy","motivation","no-attachment","wise-sayings"],"id":6191,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"I was a pilot and flying hang gliders, paragliders, aerobatics airplanes, and then I discovered skydiving.
