Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
~
~Albert Camus, Resistance, Rebellion, and Death
If you don't love me, it does not matter, anyway I can love for both of us.
~Stendhal
All murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
~Voltaire
Whenever a taboo is broken, something good happens, something vitalizing. Taboos after all are only hangovers, the product of diseased minds, you might say, of fearsome people who hadn't the courage to live and who under the guise of morality and religion have imposed these things upon us.
~Henry Miller
There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.
~Anais Nin
