“You never learn about Man by avoiding Man. You have to walk with Man to know Man. You never learn about life by withholding yourself totally from life.
“If you do hold yourself entirely away from life and if you are of a frame of mind that keeps you detached from existence, you will always continue to be a slave. You’ll be a slave to something. Only if you can live, only if you can freely circulate in existence, only if you can face up to your fellow man, only if you can talk to the beings that exist on the planet you’re on at the time, can you have any idea of the reality of existence or can you form any real opinion of existence.”
— L. Ron Hubbard
