Quote

What we are is what we were always meant to be, and that's writers.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

We are what we see. We are products of our surroundings.

We are what make up society.

We become what we behold. We shape our tools and then our tools shape us.

What we do belongs to what we are; and what we are is what becomes of us.

Somehow, we have come to the erroneous belief that we are all but flesh, blood, and bones, and that's all. So we direct our values to material things.

We are such a product of our upbringing and environment.
