The Awakening poster

“She was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear before the world.”

"Goodbye -- Because I love you."

"The artist must possess the courageous soul that dares and defies"

"The bird that would soar above the level plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings. It is a sad spectacle to see the weaklings bruised, exhausted, fluttering back to earth."

"but whatever came, she had resolved never again to belong to another than herself."

"The voice of the sea is seductive, never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander in abysses of solitude."

"The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds."
