― The Subtle Cause
“از آنجایی که در این زمانه دیگر عنصر اصیلی پیدا نمی شود، از آنجایی که شرابی که می نوشیم و آزادی ای که مدعی اش هستیم تقلبی و تمسخرآمیزند، از آنجایی که در نهایت نیاز به حسن نیتی یگانه و منحصر داریم تا باور بیاوریم که طبقات فرادست قابل احترام اند و طبقات فرودست سزاوار آنند که از مصایبشان بکاهیم و بر محنت هایشان دل بسوزانیم، به اعتقاد من، نظری مسخره و جنون آمیز نخواهد بود، اگر از همنوع ام بخواهم که کمی تخیل به خرج دهد- تقریبا معادل اوهامی که، در زندگی روزمره اش صرف اهداف ابلهانه می شود.”
