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.
