Happy 14th of July, folks! On this same day, in 1789, the Bastille was stormed in France. The guards were killed and the prisoners were freed. People rebelled against the unfair treatment of the working class; they stood up for their beliefs, their freedom, and their natural rights as human beings. The storm of the bastille marked the start of a new beginning.

The Sign of Change
“Every man having been born free and master of himself, no one else may under any pretext whatever subject him without his consent. To assert that the son of a slave is born a slave is to assert that he is not born a man.” ― Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract (Blog in cooperation: uniqueliteraturepost.blogspot.de)
