I would make any sacrifice but this; twenty times I can stake my life, even my honour, but my freedom I shall never sell. Why do I prize it so much?... What am I aiming at? Nothing, absolutely nothing Picture Quote #1

I sing whatever comes into my head. It'll be heard by who it's meant for, and who isn't meant to hear won't understand Picture Quote #1

Disenchantment, like any other fashion, having started off among the elite had now been passed down to finish its days among the lower orders Picture Quote #1

You men do not understand the delights of a glance, of a pressure of the hand... But as for me, I swear to you that, when I listen to your voice, I feel such a deep, strange bliss that the most passionate kisses could not take it's place Picture Quote #1

If only people thought a little more about it, they would see that life is not worrying about so much Picture Quote #1

No, it is not you I love so ardently, the glitter of your beauty is not for me: I love in you my past suffering and my perished youth Picture Quote #1

Picture Quote #1

I was born, so that the whole world could be a spectator of my triumph or my doom Picture Quote #1

And I, as I lived, in an alien land Will die a slave and an orphan Picture Quote #1
