"...one must still have chaos in one to give birth to a dancing star." -Nietzsche

In a universe that is based around achieving order and equilibrium, and in a world that is driven by understanding and organization, this quote provides an interesting, challenging, and fresh point of view. It means that a person can never settle for the status quo or what society has deemed as "correct" or "true". A person should never be satisfied with only what they currently know and have experienced. People should always question the way things are. Revolutions occur from challenging the current system of existing and successful revolutions result in usually an improved system. Having an inner chaos does not necessarily mean simply being in turmoil. It means to have an inner turmoil that is caused by an endless curiosity about the world around us and a drive to constantly find ways to improve it and make it better for generations to come.
