And Lydia Kałuzińskiej personal reflections after reading the book Alabama Song:
"Society does not tolerate difference, and yet the difference is not manufacturing defect."
"I'm waiting for a society matures and grows up to the acceptance of otherness another human being, without any manifestation of xenophobia. "
" Zelda for me is a sign of genius, which no one wanted to see and accept. "
"In a society jednokulturowym separate, specific to your area to adopt human difference - amazing, brilliant, creative people with different sexual orientation or religious affiliation, is not acceptable. It's too hard to be a concern and disrupts the existing order, order and tranquility. People do not want to be brave in so far as to expose the social norms recognizing the genius of Zelda, her sexuality and femininity. "
"Liberation of the soul connects to the liberation of the body. The woman who runs away from her femininity, sexuality, hiding it deep in the subconscious, which has only the duties imposed on her mother, a wife - never gets to the fullness of life. "
