The first quote I want to bring up from chapter four is that which appears in Sigmund Freud's memorial in Vienna, "The voice of reason is small, but very persistent." (27) I absolutely adore this quote because the truth that cradles it. Everyone has their own voice of reason, and it the voice that guides us through everything we do. This is the voice that helps us make our decisions and helps us rationalize our decisions after we make them. You cannot run away from this voice because it is a part of you. You can choose to ignore it, but are you really ignoring it?
The second quote I will shed light on is that of which George Orwell said, "Prime responsibility lay in being able to tell people what they did not what they wish to hear." (29) I choose this quote because it is our responsibility to others not to tell them fantasy, but to explain the truth behind their own actions. Just because your voice of reason tells you to tell one a lie about their own actions, do you do it? You may, but is that beneficial at all to the other individual? Not even slightly. Everyone else can see what they are doing, but people put up barriers to their own actions, and do not always believe what they do, but listen from others, It is our responsibility to tell these people their actions and help them improve on themselves,
