“I
am convinced that most people do not grow up...We marry and dare to have

real selves, the children inside, are innocent and shy as magnolias.”

It's
so she can fly,' I said. Then I started to run.”

they come around.”

Charles Baudelaire
“If
other people do not understand our behavior—so what? Their request that we must
only do what they understand is an attempt to dictate to us. If this is being
"asocial" or "irrational" in their eyes, so be it. Mostly
they resent our freedom and our courage to be ourselves. We owe nobody an
explanation or an accounting, as long as our acts do not hurt or infringe on
them. How many lives have been ruined by this need to "explain,"
which usually implies that the explanation be "understood," i.e.
approved. Let your deeds be judged, and from your deeds, your real intentions,
but know that a free person owes an explanation only to himself—to his reason
and his conscience—and to the few who may have a justified claim for
explanation.”
