"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Self-made.


Do what thy manhood bids thee do, 
From none but self expect applause; 
He noblest lives and noblest dies 
Who makes and keeps his self-made laws. 

All other Life is living Death, 
A world where none but Phantoms dwell, 
A breath, a wind, a sound, a voice, 
A tinkling of the camel-bell.

Richard Francis Burton
