“At such a time it seems natural and good to me to ask myself these questions: What do I believe in? What must I fight for and what must I fight against?…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…If the glory can be killed, we are lost.”
Steinbeck’s East of Eden. Page 132
