Doris Lessing

“But it is my belief that it is always the individual, in the long run, who will set the tone, provide the real development in a society.

It is not always easy to go on valuing the individual, when everywhere individuals are so put down, denigrated, swamped by mass thinking, mass movements and, on a smaller scale, by the group.

It is particularly hard for young people, faced with what seems like impervious walls of obstacles, to have belief in their ability to change things, to keep their personal and individual viewpoints intact.”
