“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first.”

The quote is amazing to me, especially knowing his father was Capt. George Stephen Morrison, who commanded the Carrier Division during the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, which famously gave the Johnson Administration the justification it needed to escalate the Vietnam War.
