Is this really our insignificant lot: To be slaves to our lustful bodies? After all, not one of the living in the world. I couldn't satisfy my desires. (Omar Khayyam)
The government spits on us, do not talk about politics and religion - all this is enemy propaganda! Wars, catastrophes, murders - all this horror! The media make a sad face, characterizing this as a great human tragedy, but we know that - the media do not pursue the goal of destroying the evil of the world - no! Its task is to convince us to accept this evil, to adapt to live in it! The authorities want us to be passive observers! They left us no chance, except for a rare, absolutely symbolic general vote - choose the doll on the left or the doll on the right! (Author unknown)

So, comrades, how is our life organized? Let's face it. Poverty, overwork, untimely death - this is our destiny. We are born, we get just enough food so as not to die of hunger, and work animals are also exhausted with work until all the juices are squeezed out of them, and when we are no longer good for anything, we are killed with monstrous cruelty. There is not an animal in England that does not say goodbye to leisure and joy of life as soon as he is a year old. There is no animal in England that has not been enslaved. (George Orwell.)
Only a person who has overcome the slave in himself knows freedom. (Henry Miller)

Better freedom in hell than slavery in heaven. (Anatole France)
People mince, trying not to be late for work, many of them mutter on their mobile phones on the go, gradually drawing their sleepy brains into the morning bustle of the city. (Mobile phones now also perform the function of an additional alarm clock. If the first wakes you up for work, the second tells you that it has already begun.) Sometimes my imagination paints bales on the backs of slightly hunched figures, turning them into serf slaves who daily bring their masters tribute in the form of their own health, feelings and emotions. The most stupid and most terrible thing about this is that they do all this of their own free will, in the absence of any bonded serfdom. (Sergey Minaev)
Slavery is a prison of the soul. (Publius)
Habit reconciles with slavery. (Pythagoras of Samos)

You slavishly serve me, and then complain that I am not interested in you: who will be interested in a slave? (George Bernard Shaw)
Every man born into slavery is born into slavery; nothing can be truer than this. In chains, slaves lose everything, up to the desire to free themselves from them. (Jean-Jacques Rousseau)
Debt is the beginning of slavery, even worse than slavery, because the creditor is more inexorable than the slave owner: he owns not only your body, but also your dignity and can, on occasion, inflict grave insults on him. (Victor Marie Hugo)
Since people began to live together, freedom has disappeared and slavery has arisen, for every law, limiting and narrowing the rights of one in favor of all, thereby encroaches on the freedom of an individual. (Raffaello Giovagnoli)
Servants who do not have a master do not become free people because of this - they have servility in their souls. (Heinrich Heinrich)
To become a free man... You need to squeeze a slave out of yourself drop by drop. (Chekhov Anton Pavlovich)
Who by nature does not belong to himself, but to another, and at the same time is still a man, is a slave. (Aristotle)

156All sciences of this kind are slave sciences, but the master's science is how to use a slave, and to be a master does not mean at all to be able to acquire slaves, but to be able to use them. In this science there is nothing either great or sublime: after all, what a slave should be able to do, the master should be able to order. Therefore, for those who have the opportunity to avoid such troubles, the manager takes on this duty, while they themselves are engaged in politics or philosophy. As for the science of the acquisition of slaves (insofar as it is just), it differs from both of the above, being something like the science of war or the science of hunting. Here are our thoughts about slave and master.

72There are original scenes between the slave traders and their captives: the former have a lot of cassava, which they breed in abundance, while the latter are rich only in fish. They exchange their products, but, not trusting each other, during the exchange they hold a fish or cassava in one hand, and a naked knife in the other. One can easily imagine that, as a result of such incessant attacks, the natives become ferocious and cruel. They are sometimes so hungry that they are ready to eat whatever comes to hand - roots, insects, crickets, and even ... their dead! In a word, to understand how the natives can be so bloodthirsty, one must live among them, like me, in Central Africa.

49We are all slaves of our affections, slaves of prejudices not even of our own, but of persons dear to us, we must earn our living, and as a result we become part of the machine. The heaviest thing is those concessions that the prejudices of the society around us have to make, more or less, depending on the greater or lesser strength of oneself. If you do too many of them, then you humiliate yourself and become disgusted with yourself. So I have already departed from the principles that I held ten years ago. At that time, I thought that one should keep to the extreme in everything and not make a single concession environment. I thought that one should exaggerate both one's virtues and one's shortcomings.

49Were the Greek fabulist Aesop, who lived 500 years before the birth of Christ, and the Roman fabulist Phaedrus, a contemporary of Jesus Christ, who created the French Lafontaine and our Russian Krylov, were not slaves? Wasn't the great Horace, who created much in Derzhavin and Pushkin 50 years before the birth of Christ, the son of a slave? However, is it worth talking about it? The deaf will never hear...

42It is not at all a slave that needs to be squeezed out of oneself drop by drop all one's life, and not even a master ... but a vile and low animal ..., a person. Only having cleansed itself of the husks and rubbish of fuss, everyday needs, conditions and rules, the scabs of centuries and other emptiness of habits, only then, perhaps, it is possible to discover a clear picture of the world, first consisting of the skeleton of oneself, and then - and all the rest of the world. That's it, Anton Pavlovich...

42There is no slavery in the world if everything is one. I myself created the untruth of the universe, So that it was destined in the future, Having passed the path of betrayal and suffering, To return again to the mysterious line, Where it will take on all other shapes ...

40Indeed, in order for true art to be born, a slave-owning system is absolutely necessary. Among the ancient Greeks, slaves tilled the fields, cooked food and rowed the galleys - while the townspeople indulged in versification and math exercises under the Mediterranean sun. And it was art.
