“[M]y departure is not running away or an escape but a quest—a conquest, an acquisition of knowledge! I would leave again for Paris! I would have the highest degree in the world. I would arm myself to the teeth, with all the powerful weapons of knowledge! Then and only then would I be able to find the way to freedom.”
