What is a good quote about freedom in the book "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail"?

The theme of freedom arises in various conversations that take place in this play. Naturally, some of this happens in the scenes with Henry and Bailey in the jail cell. But as a Transcendentalist and as an independent person and thinker, Thoreau tends to bring up the issue a lot. Henry repeats Ralph Waldo Emerson’s advice, “Cast conformity behind you,” on an early page. This sets the stage (so to speak) for more to come....

The theme of freedom arises in various conversations that take place in this play. Naturally, some of this happens in the scenes with Henry and Bailey in the jail cell. But as a Transcendentalist and as an independent person and thinker, Thoreau tends to bring up the issue a lot. Henry repeats Ralph Waldo Emerson’s advice, “Cast conformity behind you,” on an early page. This sets the stage (so to speak) for more to come. In the first jail cell scene, Thoreau says, “Every human being has an unalienable right to snore.” Later, he hears the footsteps of someone walking outside the jail, on the street, and the sound is enough for him to launch into a small tirade about conforming to the rest of society:

I know where he’s going. He’s going where he’s supposed to go. So he can be where he’s supposed to be, at the time he’s supposed to be there. Why? So he’ll be liked. My God, a whole country of us who only want to be liked.

Thoreau believes that true freedom lies in the ability to do what you want to do, regardless of what other people will think. In the middle of Act One, he claims that he feels free in spite of being locked behind bars:

Thank you, Concord! Thank you for locking me up so I’m free to hear what I’ve never heard before. You put me behind iron bars and walls four feet thick! How do you know that I’m not the free one? The freest man in the world! And you, out there, are chained to what you have to do tomorrow morning!

He likes to re-interpret the concept of freedom. More examples appear throughout the book -- when Thoreau quits his teaching job at the town's center school instead of conforming to what the school authority man wants; when he does gardening work instead of going to church on Sunday, etc. Here, being free is more than just the opposite of being put in jail.
