It is the business of the very few to be independent; it is a privilege of the strong. And whoever attempts it, even with the best right, but without being OBLIGED to do so, proves that he is probably not only strong, but also daring beyond measure. He enters into a labyrinth, he multiplies a thousandfold the dangers which life in itself already brings with it; not the least of which is that no one can see how and where he loses his way, becomes isolated, and is torn piecemeal by some minotaur of conscience.

What would happen to the world without those who do, think, work, produce? Those are the egotists. You don__ think through another__ brain and you don__ work through another__ hands. When you suspend your faculty of independent judgment, you suspend consciousness. To stop consciousness is to stop life.

Imagine if you will:At the highly secretive, largely independent, inter-dimensional and (inevitably) clandestine organization called the Time Saving Agency, there is a saying that goes: __ou can__ break an omelet without first making eggs_.
