“My friend, get out of the gangue that surrounds you, boldly break all the protective shells.

You are not made to take refuge in more or less deceitful forms which serve you as asylums.

Abandoning the old snake skin, you can fly in unlimited space. " Marie-Madeleine Davy, Nature and its symbolism.
