“Desire, ignorance, and inequality—this is the trinity of bondage.”
“Bottom dogs have to be persuaded of the desirability of inequality.”
“True freedom, which is full joy, is the complete recognition of law and adaptation to it. Bondage comes from ignorance of law or opposition to it.”
“Even when repressed, inequality grows; only the man who is below the average in economic ability desires equality; those who are conscious of superior ability desire freedom, and in the end superior ability has its way.”
“Faith is a luxury for those who are able to ignore what the rest of us must see every day. Pessimism, distrust, and irony are the holy trinity of my religion, irony in particular.”
“Ignore what a man desires and you ignore the very source of his power.”
