Jacqueline Harpman
“I thought it was unfair, and then I understood that, alone and terrified, anger was my only weapon against the horror”
Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

Yevgeny Zamyatin
“Why is the dance beautiful? Answer: because it is an unfree movement. Because the deep meaning of the dance is contained in its absolute, ecstatic submission, in the ideal non-freedom. If it is true that our ancestors would abandon themselves in dancing at the most inspired moments of their lives (religious mysteries, military parades), then it means only one thing: the instinct of non-freedom has been characteristic of human nature from ancient times, and we in our life of today, we are only consciously—”
Yevgeny Zamyatin, We
