“And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in
the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes,
undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the
individual This is what I am and what I am about. I can understand why a system built on a pattern
must try to destroy the free mind, for that is the one thing which can by inspection destroy such a
system.”
