Modern Western thought...
Vendor: WRITERS
Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men.
Source: My Past and Thoughts, vol. 2, pt. 5, ch. 38 (1921; tr. by Constance Garnett 1924 --27).
-- Alexander Herzen, (Apr 6 1812-1870), Russian author; He distrusted governments, was sceptical of western democratic forms, and had great faith in the power of peasants and other ordinary people to organise themselves.
