“Reigning doctrines are often called a "double standard".The term is misleading.It is more accurate to describe them as a single standard,clear and unmistakable,the standard that Adam Smith called the "vile maxim of the masters of mankind: ...All for ourselves,and nothing for other people." Much has changed since his day,but the vile maxim flourishes.”

“Hm … yes, all is in a man's hands and he lets it all slip from cowardice, that's an axiom”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment
