What I do deny is that you can build any enduring society without some such mystical ethos.

I can imagine no society which does not embody some method of arbitration.

Progress is measured by the degree of differentiation within a society.

It does not seem that the contradiction which exists between the aristocratic function of art and the democratic structure of modern society can ever be resolved.

It is already clear, after twenty years of socialism in Russia, that if you do not provide your society with a new religion, it will gradually revert to the old one.

I am not going to claim that modern anarchism has any direct relation to Roman jurisprudence; but I do claim that it has its basis in the laws of nature rather than in the state of nature.
