Millions of people never analyze themselves. Mentally they are mechanical products of the factory of their environment, preoccupied with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, working and sleeping, and going here and there to be entertained.

By evading self-analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress.
