“Revolutionary or reformer – the error is the same. Unable to dominate and reform his own attitude toward life, which is everything, or his own being, which is almost everything, he flees, devoting himself to modifying others and the outside world. Every revolutionary and reformer is a fugitive. To fight for change is to be incapable of changing oneself. To reform is to be beyond repair.”
