He is king among the heroes. His mind rises above the earth, he turns upon his own axis like the sun, shines in his own light, shares her heat and her spots. His are the dimensions of a great spirit, and centuries to come will study his stature and nature with the utmost care. ... He demands the space of a colossus. ... I can think of no being more exalted than the King.

Do you think I take any pleasure in this dog's life, in seeing and causing death in people unknown to me, in losing friends and acquaintances daily, in seeing my reputation ceaselessly exposed to the caprices of fortune, in spending the whole year with uneasiness and apprehension, in continually risking my life and my fortune? I certainly know the value of tranquility, the charms of society, the pleasures of life, and I like to be happy as much as anybody. Although I desire all these good things, I will not buy them with baseness and infamy. Philosophy teaches us to do our duty, to serve our country faithfully at the expense of our blood and of our repose, to commit our whole being to it.

Frederick the Great

Even before construction started, the Prussian King would designate Sanssouci as his final resting place – in 1744 saying: “Once I am there, I shall be carefree”.

. “I have lived as a philosopher and wish to be buried as such, without circumstance, without solemn pomp, without splendour,” he would say. “I want to be neither opened nor embalmed.”

Orginally from Newcastle but currently living in York for University, studying War and History. I often go back up to Newcastle sometimes to stay with family, especially during the holidays. Big bearded fella with long hair, tattoos, lips pierced, glasses and wear naught but kilts when out in public. Fucken love LOTR. My favourite fantasy ever. Talk Tolkien to me. <3 Also deeply interested in Japanese History, mostly the Bakumatsu which is the mid to late 1800s. I can speak/read/write some Japanese and still learning it.

I love 18th century art, every form of it. Tis beautiful and perfection in my eyes. Then again I love a lot to do with the 18th century along with the Victorian Era, a combo of those eras would be a perfect lifestyle for me personally. Happily will explore mixing those two as a lifestyle with someone who would be interested in it!

If ye ever fancy talking, just drop a message or ask for my discord (where I am more likely to be catchable, always on it.)
