Ayn Rand says:
"As a human being you have no choice about the fact that you need a
philosophy. Your only choice is whether you define your philosophy by a
conscious, rational, disciplined process of thought and scrupulously
logical deliberation -- or let your subconscious accumulate a junk heap of
unwarranted conclusions, false generalizations, undefined contradictions,
undigested slogans, unidentified wishes, doubts and fears thrown together
by chance, but integrated by your subconscious into a kind of mongrel
philosophy and fused into a single, sold weight: self-doubt, like a ball
and chain in the place of where your mind's wings should have grown."
