Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Music is liquid architecture; Architecture is frozen music.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“Civilization is a hopeless race to discover remedies for the evils it produces.”
Rousseau

Emma Goldman
“If I can't dance to it, it's not my revolution.”
Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman
“ Free love? As if love is anything but free! Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love. Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly helpless before love. High on a throne, with all the splendor and pomp his gold can command, man is yet poor and desolate, if love passes him by. And if it stays, the poorest hovel is radiant with warmth, with life and color. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king. Yes, love is free; it can dwell in no other atmosphere. In freedom it gives itself unreservedly, abundantly, completely. All the laws on the statutes, all the courts in the universe, cannot tear it from the soil, once love has taken root.”
Emma Goldman, Marriage and Love

William Wordsworth
“Bliss it was in that dawn to be alive
But to be young was very heaven.”
William Wordsworth, The Prelude
