Poetry is the work of the bard and of the people who inspire him.

Nature has placed the need to see justice done in some souls, and the need to flout and affront it in others.

Let those who desire a secure homeland conquer it. Let those who do not conquer it live under the whip and in exile, watched over like wild animals, cast from one country to another, concealing the death of their souls with a beggar's smile from the scorn of free men.

He who could have been a torch and stoops to being a pair of jaws is a deserter.

Only oppression should fear the full exercise of freedom.

Man loves liberty, even if he does not know that he loves it. He is driven by it and flees from where it does not exist.

The force of passion is balanced by the force of interest.
