“I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss. I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy. I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence.

― Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

“To an artist a metaphor is as real as a dollar.”
