TEXTS
- The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, dared to say "This is mine" and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars, and murder, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows: Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to all of us, and the earth itself to nobody!
- An observer viewing human life shortly after cultural takeoff would easily have concluded that our species was destined to be irremediably egalitarian except for distinctions of sex and age. That someday the world would be divided into aristocrats and commoners, masters and slaves, billionaires and homeless beggars would have seemed wholly contrary to human nature, as evidenced in the affairs of every human society then on earth.
- Frankenstein: I'm wicked because I'm unhappy, we have no choice but to fight.
