Reflections and Stuff
Think for yourself and question authority" [Timothy Leary. Professor/Counterculture Leader]. As said T.E. Lawrence in the "Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph:" “All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.”
Hence, always remember that:
“Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.”
― Isaac Asimov
