revolution

"the most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are.  you trade in your reality for a role. you trade in your sense for an act. you give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. there can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level.  it's got to happen inside first."

- jim morrison

moving

"and the danger is that in this move toward new horizons and far directions, that i may lose what i have now, and not find anything except loneliness."
