"you came into this life with the only real possessions that ever matter-your body, the time that you have to live, your energy, the thoughts and ideas unique to you, and your autonomy, but over the years you tend to give all of this away, you spend years working for others- they own you during that period. you get needlessly caught up in people games and battles, wasting energy and time that you never get back. you come to respect your own ideas less and less, listening to experts, conforming to conventional opinions. without realizing it you squander your independence, everything that makes you a creative individual"
