Quote “If we do not create our lives, we will leave them for others to create according to their desires.” We will live only once, and it is shameful to live on the margins and accept the scraps of life when we are capable of creating what suits us We hold on to them as though they were treasures we fear losing, when in fact they are deadly poisons we choose to keep. The making of the herd begins in childhood, by suppressing children's questions and frightening them away from thinking outside the flock.
