I was as repelled by the French as I was attracted by their country.
I defied nothing at all. I ignored the law because I didn't know it existed. It didn't occur to me that anyone would want to curb my inspiration.
The great thing to learn about life is, first, not to do what you don't want to do, and, second, to do what you do want to do.
I have always fought for ideas - until I learned that it isn't ideas but grief, struggle, and flashes of vision which enlighten.
