| e8518b5 | Our ideal self is revealed in what we value (passion), how we understand the world (belief), and what we do to reach our ideal (behavior).

When he lets his hands and face move like they want to and doesn't try to hold them back, they flow and gesture in a way that's real pretty to watch, but when he worries about them and tries to hold back he becomes a wild, jerky puppet doing a high-strung dance. Everything is moving faster and faster, and his voice is speeding up to match. | Ken Kesey | ||
