  • One cannot avoid a certain feeling of disgust, when one observes the actions of man displayed on the great stage of the world.

  • Perhaps a revolution can overthrow autocratic despotism and profiteering or power-grabbing oppression, but it can never truly reform a manner of thinking; instead, new prejudices, just like the old ones they replace, will serve as a leash for the great unthinking mass.
