How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples, the myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.

You may have to do so kicking and screaming and throwing fits and crying- but by all means- face it! This life makes no room for cowards.

Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is man's inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another.

'Have courage to use your own reason!'- that is the motto of enlightenment.
