““Once enlightened, they started to understand themselves (and others) much better, began to appreciate their own individual time, and were suddenly relieved of the weight of prejudice ridiculing their temporal habits: for example, being called lazy if you don't wake up fresh as a daisy by seven o'clock in the morning; or being called a boring person only because you don't enjoy going out with friends after ten at night.””
