“Έρχεται κάποια στιγμή, όπου η μεγαλειότητά μας, ο εαυτός μας, είναι ανάγκη να περάσει στην αίθουσα του θρόνου με τους αυλικούς του, το νου και την καρδιά, για ν' αποφασίσει επάνω στον καταστατικό χάρτη της ζωής του.”

“I sought out the laws which govern nature, solid or ethereal, and after much pondering I perceived that the Universe had not been formed as its pretended Creator would have us believe; I knew that all that exists, exists of itself and not by the caprice of Iahveh; that the world is itself its own creator and the spirit its own God. Henceforth I despised Iahveh for his imposture, and I hated him because he showed himself to be opposed to all that I found desirable and good: liberty, curiosity, doubt.”
― Anatole France, The Revolt of the Angels

“I like misty autumn mornings,
and cold snowy winter nights.
Rainstorms bring me innerpeace,
thunder sets my soul alight.

I care not for summer,
days too long, the heavy heat.
Give me candlelight evenings,
early darkness, a silent street.”
― N.C.
