“The first freedom is mental freedom. We have to seize the
freedom to be what we can be, to write whatever we want, with all the mystery
and fire of art. It is our responsibility to illuminate the strange corners of
what it is to be human.
Literature is the index of our intelligence, our wisdom,
our freedom. We must not let anyone define what we write, what we see as worthy
of playful or profound investigation in words. “The aim of art,” wrote
Aristotle, “is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their
inward significance.”
Not the appearance, but the inward significance, radiated from the genius of inner freedom.”

True! I enjoyed my Literature classes in Secondary School and still enjoy reading some literature books. Nice write-up.
