About This Quote
As humans, we are generally self-determining creatures. We set out to achieve our own goals and achieve them to the best of our abilities. We act in ways that we believe will best contribute to our goals and we have a relatively high level of self-control. The problem is, most people do not realize that rationality and calm self-determination were one of the great illusions of the universe. In the end, we were all ruled by our passions.
