For every nine people who denounce innovation, only one will encourage it... For every nine people who do things the way they have always been done, only one will ever wonder if there is a better way. For every nin people who stand in line in front of a locked building, only one will ever come around and check the back door.

Our progress as a species rests squareloy on the shoulders of that tenth person. The nine are satisfied with things they are told are valuable. Person 10 determines for himself what has value."

-Za Rinpoche and Ashely Nebelsieck, in The Backdoor to Enlightenment
