"Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact, i.e., everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use, and the minute you understand that you can poke life, if you push in, something will pop out the other side. You can change, you can mold it. That's maybe the most important thing - to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there, you just gonna live in it versus embrace it, change it, improve it, and make your mark upon it. ... once your learn that, you'll never be the same again."
Alice laughed. "There is no use trying," she said: "one can't believe impossible things." "I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." by Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass
