This is a quote by Timothy Leary. Tool used it as an into to the live version of the song Third Eye. I just like this quote and felt the urge to share it. Timothy Leary is an interesting person.
"Think for yourself. Question authority. Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we're going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities: the political, the religious, the educational authorities, who have attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rule, regulations. Informing, forming in our minds an inner view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to immerse yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness-- chaotic, confused vulnerability to which you owe yourself. Think for yourself. Question authority."

I agree. So often it seems that many people tend to adopt a particular belief system based on tradition instead of really questioning something for themselves.
