"Are you a personâ€”with volition and maybe some stubbornness and at least the capacity if not the actual determination to do something surprisingâ€”or are you a tool? A tool just serves its user. Itâ€™s only as good as the skill of its user, and itâ€™s not good for anything else. So if you want to accomplish something specialâ€”something more than you can do for yourselfâ€”you canâ€™t use a tool. You have to use a person and hope the surprises will work in your favor. You have to use something thatâ€™s free to not be what you had in mind."

-- Stephen R. Donaldson
