About This Quote
Everything that we think about, we have in our heads. This means that to a certain extent, we can control what is going on in our head. The way we think about things determines the way we perceive them. We can change how we view things or even create new things in our minds by the way we think about them.
In this quote, the author is saying he has ideas in his head that are not like what anyone taught him. Most of the time, these ideas will be close to him and perfectly natural for his way of thinking. But sometimes new ideas come to him and this causes him to question everything he has ever believed about the world around him.
