“Bottom dogs have to be persuaded of the desirability of inequality.”

“Desire, ignorance, and inequality—this is the trinity of bondage.”

“Inequality is everywhere at the bottom of faction, for in general faction arises from men's striving for what is equal.”

“Occupying the bottom end of the inequality ladder, and becoming a 'collateral victim' of a human action or a natural disaster, interact the way the opposite poles of magnets do: they tend to gravitate towards each other.”

“Conditions of thought, memory, and desire, persuaded by impulse and irrationality, are influenced as well by personal aesthetics and private meanings.”

“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.”
