Dare to be free, dare to go as far as your thought leads, and dare to carry that out in your life.

To dare everything is not necessarily to travel off, but often the opposite, to have faith in a foundation you have discovered in life and which, though it is difficult to describe, even to yourself, you refuse to relinquish.

I speak the truth, not so much as I would, but as much as I dare; and I dare a little more as I grow older.
