Terra Libertas

“Our passion for freedom is stronger than your prisons”

»I am younger each year at the first snow. When I see it, suddenly, in the air, all little and white and moving; then I am in love again and very young and I believe everything.«

‘Thy heart by one sole impulse is possess’d; Unconscious of the other still remain! Two souls, alas! are lodg’d within my breast, Which struggle there for undivided reign: One to the world, with obstinate desire, And closely-cleaving organs, still adheres; Above the mist, the other doth aspire, With sacred vehemence, to purer spheres. Oh, are there spirits in the air, Who float ’twixt heaven and earth dominion wielding, Stoop hither from your golden atmosphere, Lead me to scenes, new life and fuller yielding! A magic mantle did I but possess, Abroad to waft me as on viewless wings, I’d prize it far beyond the costliest dress, Nor would I change it for the robe of kings.’

American 1850-1950

“I have a feeling that inside you somewhere, there’s somebody nobody knows about.”

“I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human.”
