Quotations.
Lands decorated by genius and
humble sighs. Prairies filled with true wishes and consistent armies of freedom
and horizons. Here we walk always forward, because there is not time for
regrets... because the symphony plays celestial songs made of tears and joy...
melancholy and completeness. Here is where you meet much more than meets the
eye. Pieces of the everlasting renounce to understand, to doubt, to get
unchained, to start your independence... because these are the winds to arrive
at the source of wisdom: self-knowledge.
