Hi, and welcome to JWD.
I love this quote by Walt Whitman,
“re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, and dismiss whatever insults your own soul; and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency, not only in its words, but in the silent lines of its lips and face, and between the lashes of your eyes, and in every motion and joint of your body."
If you like the flavour of this quote, look up "transcendentalism", and you will discover some great American philosophers,,, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and his colleagues and students, Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, and others. Their writings are real, and connected to humanity. Philosophy - it will get you thinking!
