“There is a continual exchange of ideas between all minds of a generation.

It is like a spiritual flood, like a gush that pours into multiple cascades until it forms the great moving sheet of water that stands for the mentality of a period.”
—Auguste Rodin (1849–1917)
“I see the state of all of us who live, nothing more than phantoms or a weightless shadow.”
