"The denial of freedom is the denial of moral life." — Lev Lopatin

"Man's relation to God is not a quality given by nature. Because it only is in conjunction with freedom, it awakens in the individual only when from his mere assertion of life he takes the leap to his self, that is, to the area where, authentically free from the world, he becomes fully open to the world, where he can be independent of the world, because he lives in bond with God. God is for me in the degree to which I authentically exist." — Karl Jaspers

"Guidance through Transcendence is different from any guidance in the world, for God's guidance is of only one kind. It is given through freedom itself." — Karl Jaspers

"God does not speak through the commands and revelations of other men but in man's selfhood and through his freedom, not from without but from within. Any restriction on man's freedom, created by God and oriented toward God, is a restriction upon the very thing through which God manifests himself." — Karl Jaspers

"It is not man who demands freedom from God, but God demands freedom from man, and in this freedom He sees the dignity of man's God-likeness." — Nikolai Berdyaev

"We must rescue responsibility from the pernicious doctrine of the unfreedom of man, for otherwise we cannot escape the destruction of all morality." — Karl Jaspers
