“And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected.

― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“Live in the present, remember the past, and fear not the future, for it doesn't exist and never shall. There is only now.”
