Status Updates From De eeuwige bron

“Rulers of men are not egotists. They create nothing. They exist entirely through the persons of others. Their goal is in their subjects, in the activity of enslaving. They are as dependent as the beggar, the social worker and the bandit. The form of dependence does not matter.”

“And here man faces his basic alternative: he can survive in only one of two ways—by independent work of his own mind or as a parasite fed by the minds of others. The creator originates. The parasite borrows. The creator faces nature alone. The parasite faces nature through an intermediary.”

“You were a ruler of men. You held a leash. A leash is only a rope with a noose at both ends.”
