“It is not in man’s power to think and believe as he pleases. One can want to think otherwise than one really thinks, one can work faithfully to change as opinion, and may even be successful. But what we cannot do is to confuse our desire to think in another way with the pretense that we are already thinking as we want to. One of the giants of the Renaissance, the strange Leonardo da Vinci, coined for all time the adage: “Che non puo quell che vuol, quel che puo voglia” – he who cannot do what he wants, let him want what he can do.”
Ortega y Gasset.
