ON THE MIND:
Walking around the Lake listening to this. Twilight lights and a strong rain. Loving thy Oakland.

Mary Wollstonecraft said in 1797

DateWed, March 4, 2009 at 01:18PM

"Vigorous minds are with difficulty restrained within the trammels of authority; a spirit of enterprise, a passion for experiment, a liberal curiosity, urges them to quit the beaten paths, to explore untried ways, to burst the fetters of prescription, and to acquire wisdom by an individual experience."


Thanks to A.K. for introducing me to this quote.
