"It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird;
It would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg.
We are like eggs at present.
And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary decent egg.
We must be hatched or go bad"
~C.S. Lewis
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened.
But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
~Nietzche
"....they who have any care of their own souls, and do not merely live molding and fashioning the body, say farewell to all of this;
they will not walk in the ways of the blind:
and when philosophy offers them purification and release from evil, they feel that they ought not to resist her influence, and whither she leads they turn and follow"
~Socrates
