Independence is for the very few; a privilege of the strong. Whoever attempts it without inner constraint proves he is probably not only strong, but also daring to the point of recklessness. He enters into a labyrinth, multiplies a thousandfold the dangers of life, not the least of which is that no one can see how and where he loses his way, becomes lonely, and is torn piecemeal by some minotaur of conscience.

-- "Beyond Good and Evil", Friedrich Nietzsche
