![“Ghosts! […] I almost think we are all of us ghosts. It is not only what we have inherited from our father and mother that ‘walks’ in us. It is all sorts of dead ideas, and lifeless old beliefs, and so forth. They have no vitality, but they cling to us all the same, and we cannot shake them off…” quote by Henrik Ibsen](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b3f/henrik-ibsen-1419_belief_ghosts-i-almost-think-we-are-all-of-us-g_3184486.jpg)
