I never handed out manifestos on the streets and never dreamed of a coup carried out by fire and sword. I knew: the coming changes must be accomplished without violence and blood. In recent months, Theodore and I have been working on an epoch-making legal act. Myriads of minutes, this long work hand in hand affected the nature of our relationship. Yes, I wanted to marry the man I loved, I wanted to take a higher position in order to defend the interests of ordinary people. And yes - there’s no need to hide it - I was tormented by the fear that high society would turn its back on me. That I will lose my studio, my outlet. It's time to look fear in the eyes and despise danger.
