I slew the Hydra, and from labour pass'd

If we must all agree, all work together, we're no better than a machine. If an individual can't work in solidarity with his fellows, it's his duty to work alone. His duty and his right. We have been denying people that right. We've been saying, more and more often, you must work with the others, you must accept the rule of the majority. But any rule is tyranny. The duty of the individual is to accept no rule, to be the initiator of his own acts, to be responsible. Only if he does so will the society live, and change, and adapt, and survive. We are not subjects of a State founded upon law, but members of a society founded upon revolution. Revolution is our obligation: our hope of evolution.

The man who insists upon seeing with perfect clearness before he decides, never decides. Accept life, and you must accept regret.

One must also accept that one has 'uncreative' moments. The more honestly one can accept that, the quicker these moments will pass.
