Is this not the true romantic feeling; not to desire to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping you.

Human beings have an instinct for freedom.

We feel free... Now we are really self-reliant. This is the great advantage of teaching ourselves to become a free people, no longer one that always asks, 'Aid, aid, please.'

Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is freedom.

I was always free because I felt free. It's very important to be free inside. The most important thing is to feel free.

Think of the wonderful circles in which our whole being moves and from which we cannot escape no matter how we try. The circler circles in these circles.

We can escape the commonplace only by manipulating it, controlling it, thrusting it into our dreams or surrendering it to the free play of our subjectivity.
