"The average person does not think at all. His brain, under various stimuli from his environment, reacts almost automatically. It produces ideas and phrases for him. These it either picks up like a wireless receiver from the crowded ether, or repeats from its own stored memory. It is almost impossible for the average person to pronounce a sentence or an idea or state a fact which is not merely lifted from his memory, either from what he has read, learnt, or heard. Most people do not realize that this is so."
