Thinking deeply...

Most memorable line so far:  "I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer."  Who hasn't been there at some point?  Why do we always seem to ask other people what's best for us?  Shouldn't we know better than anyone?  As Ellison goes on to say, "I am nobody but myself."  Why should that be that hard to figure out?  Yet it takes many people decades to get there, and some never manage.  They are forever looking outside for answers rather than within.
