"Leaving the norm.
Leave the huge, dry standard,
Tread the virgin path of creation,
To wander at the whim of the imagination,
Breathe in happiness!
Sublimate sorrow into love,
Despair into deliverance...
Break the mirror of comfort,
Trample the quietude of the accomplished,
Tear away the certainties of the established,
Remain simple and strong!"
