Terry PratchettThe trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
About This Quote
The greatest virtue is to have a broad and open mind. A mind that is not closed off to new ideas and thoughts, but instead is ready to take in all of the world’s wisdom and knowledge. The problem with this is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in your mind. They may think they can make you a better person by coming up with new ways for you to do things. In the end, they are only trying to limit you by making you into their own idea of what you should be.
