Beware.


Beware of anything that promises freedom or enlightenment – traps for eager and clever fools – a dog has a keener nose – every creature in a cave can justify himself. Three-fourths of philosophy and literature is the talk of people trying to convince themselves that they really like the cage they were tricked into entering.

Gary Snyder, from The Gray Snyder Reader
