"A relentless barrage of "why’s" is the best way to prepare your mind

to pierce the clouded veil of thinking caused by the status quo. Use

“And as for the vague something --- was it a sinister or a sorrowful,

a designing or a desponding expression? --- that opened upon a

careful observer, now and then, in his eye, and closed again before

one could fathom the strange depth partially disclosed; that

something which used to make me fear and shrink, as if I had been

wandering amongst volcanic-looking hills, and had suddenly felt the

ground quiver, and seen it gape: that something, I, at intervals, beheld

still; and with throbbing heart, but not with palsied nerves. Instead of wishing

to shun, I longed only to dare --- to divine it; and I thought Miss Ingram happy,

because one day she might look into the abyss at her leisure, explore its secrets and analyse their nature.”

--  Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
