#TheSleepofReasonProducesMonsters, remember that one by Goya? He wrote, “Imagination abandoned by #reason produces impossible monsters; united with her, she is the mother of the arts and source of their wonders.” I'm thinking: argument for a #MiddleWay.

"What goes too long unchanged destroys itself. The forest is forever because it dies and dies and so lives."

Marx thought people are frequently wrong because they interpret the world through the lens of their own bias.
