Quote
But what's the point of freedom? Do you think you can change anything?''Of course not. We are waiting.''For what?''Until the world changes on it's own. That is the one truth of history. Everything ends. Civilisations, empires, however powerful and strong. They all end, sooner or later. When it does, we will be there, with all the old ideas and thoughts, preserved and ready to blossom.

Quote
So read in the dark. Live in the space between the wine and the cork.Live without rhyme, like a vortex, free of them, go wild for any sort.Live like a secret, dance despised, share your mad, let the water soak you,But most: live your true wish and don't let man's template choke you.
