About This Quote

We were of thirteen minds, like a tree, in which there is one Red-tail and eleven squirrel parts. This quote captures the lesson that it is better to have a varied number of minds on a project rather than a single mind that has tunnel vision. A team of thirteen people with a variety of ideas and perspectives can offer a lot more than one person with a singular vision.
