“I know almost nothing and I’m not the center of the universe. I’m going to die, so I better get to living. Time does not wait. I will learn from history and from those who have journeyed before me. Their stories will help light my path. I will never let anyone silence me or tell me what to believe or say. I will use logic and observation to understand the world and build my truth on that foundation. With the help of books, mentors, and friends, I will find my place in the world. I will find love. I will find joy. I will find meaning. I will never stop searching until the day I die.”
