I'm not admitting that writers know the profundity of which they write, yet I am convinced many readers are unaware of the written intellect. Just read book reviews and sift to find the unconsciousness. I am moved by these profound words and am grateful to them because they fed my intense desire to know more philosophy and human nature.
Our species is the only creative species, and it has only one creative instrument, the individual mind and spirit of a man.
It is important he included 'spirit' of a man for this truth.
And now the forces marshaled around the concept of the group have declared a war of extermination on that preciousness, the mind of man. By disparagement, by starvation, by repressions, forced direction, and the stunning hammer-blows of conditioning, the free roving mind is being pursued, roped, blunted, drugged.
And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. I can understand why a system built on a pattern must try to destroy the free mind, for that is one thing which can by inspection destroy such a system. Surely I can understand this, and I hate it and I will fight against it to preserve the one thing that separates us from the uncreative beast. If the glory can be killed, we are lost.
Yes, yes, a thousand yeses!
