“Absolute equals nothingness.”

“Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed.”

“Democracy arose from men's thinking that if they are equal in any respect, they are equal absolutely.”

“Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.”

“Equality,' said Steerpike,' is the thing. It is the only true and central premise from which constructive ideas can radiate freely and be operated without prejudice. Absolute equality of status. Equality of wealth. Equality of power.”

“Sometimes Equality is absolutely right but at other times it is totally wrong. Sometimes people are neither equal nor unequal. They are just different, and they have very diverse needs.”
