thought for the day ...

"Like a woman who has applied her make-up before hurrying to her first tryst, the world, when it rushes toward us at the moment of our birth, is already made-up, masked, reinterpreted. And the conformists won't be the only ones fooled; the rebel types, eager to stand up against everything and everyone, will not realise how obedient they themselves are; they will rebel only against what is interpreted (or pre-interpreted) as worthy of rebellion." -Milan Kundera
