Claude Debussy
“I love music passionately. And because I love it, I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it.”
Claude Debussy

Natsume Sōseki
“The call for political freedom took place long ago. The call for freedom of speech is also a thing of the past. Freedom is not a word to be used exclusively for phenomena such as this which are so easily given outward manifestation. I believe that we young men of the new age have encountered the moment in time when we must call for that great freedom, the freedom of the mind.”
Natsume Sōseki, Sanshirō
