Start with the idea that society is contrary to Nature; devise
contrivances to which humanity can be subjected; lose sight of the
fact that humanity has its motive force within itself; consider

will, feeling and life, set oneself up apart, immeasurably above
the human race -- these are the common practices of the social
planners. The plans differ; the planners are all alike...
