“What then? Shall I not follow in the footsteps of my predecessors? I shall indeed use the old road, but if I find one that makes a shorter cut and is smoother to travel, I shall open the new road.

And there is plenty of it left even for posterity to discover.” -Seneca
Shakespeare put it like this: “there’s nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so” - Hamlet
