"Our species is the only creative species, and it has only one creative instrument, the individual mind and spirit of a [wo]man. Nothing was ever created by two [wo]men. There are no good collaborations, whether in music, art, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy. Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can rebuild and extend it, but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely mind of a [wo]man...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 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 beasts. If the glory can be killed, we are lost." Steinbeck ............................................................ ...............................................L-O-S-E is the word you use when you don't want to misplace something (i.e. Shit.....I should put that butter churner in a safe place. Don't want to lose that..). L-O-O-S-E is the word you use when things are not tight. I don't have to give an example for that one. But get it straight, people. Damn.
