“Everybody lives and acts partly according to his own, partly according to other people`s, ideas. This is what constitutes one of the great differences among men. To some, thinking is a kind of mental game; they treat their reason as if it were a fly-wheel without a connecting strap, and are guided in their actions by other people`s ideas, by custom or laws; while others look upon their own ideas as the chief motive power of all their actions, and always listen to the dictates of their own reason and submit to it, accepting other people`s opinions only on rare occasions and after weighing them critically.”
Leo Tolstoy in Resurrection
