Suppose that
humans happen to be so constructed that they desire the
opportunity for freely undertaken productive work. Suppose
that they want to be free from the meddling of technocrats
and commissars, bankers and tycoons, mad bombers who engage
in psychological tests of will with peasants defending their
homes, behavioral scientists who can't tell a pigeon from a
poet, or anyone else who tries to wish freedom and dignity
out of existence or beat them into oblivion.
-- Noam Chomsky
1928-, American Linguist,

When new turns
of behavior cease to appear in the life of the individual,
its behavior ceases to be intelligent.
-- C. E. Coghill
