I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use - silence, exile, and cunning.

Well, you had me with the photo, Dawn - had to pop over and take a closer look. Beautiful bird, beautiful quote :)
Crows often make me smile. I just saw one today on top of a telephone pole when I was out walking. The word that comes to mind is jaunty.
Love your photo! Wonderful quote!
