“When Reality is a prison, Your mind can set you free.”
“To change your mind and to follow him who sets you right is to be nonetheless the free agent that you were before.”
Remember that to change thy opinion and to follow him who corrects thy error is as consistent with freedom as it is to persist in thy error. (Long translation)
