"Some day we must see that freedom of the intellectual is not in acquiring better furniture, is not in being a success, is not in being pampered, is not even in being left alone. Our freedom lies in doing battle with giants wherever we may find them. We cannot be the New Men -- a part of the Establishment. We must be knights-errant and, like the Don, be willing to attempt the impossible -- for that is the only true freedom. For in reality, as in myth, man is always on a giant-hunt. If he does not find real ones, he will hunt mythical ones; and the role of the intellectual, be he scientist or humanist, is to replace the mythical giants with real ones; to direct the efforts of man to the searching out of those giants of our society that must be slain, and in the process, to provide the encouragement to do battle with giants and to provide the hope that the battle can be won".
