“The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feet of men;
and so with the paths which the mind travels. How worn and dusty, then,
must be the highways of the world, how deep the ruts of tradition and
conformity! I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go
before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see
the moonlight amid the mountains.”
―
Henry David Thoreau,
Walden
“It is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.” -Abraham Maslow.
True story - on both accounts. Let us not forget.
