A Personal Manifesto

Thoughts on Thinking
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007Thinking is much like traveling: for just as when a man travels he moves from scene to scene, and is ever confronted with new sights, so a thinking man moves from thought to thought, and is ever confronted with new vistas and different perspectives and vantage points.
