If I could hold my peace, and sit quiet, it will be all over with sound, and motion, all over and done with. — Samuel Beckett, Endgame

The aim of human life is to know thyself. Think for yourself. Question authority. Think with your friends. Create, create new realities. Philosophy is a team sport.

Learning how to operate your brain, learning how to operate your mind, learning how to redesign chaos. — Timothy Leary, How to Operate Your Brain: A User Manual by Timothy Leary (1993)
