Unaware of the absurdity of it, we introduce our own petty household rules into the economy of the universe for which the life of generations, peoples, of entire planets, has no importance in relation to the general development.

Source: From the Other Shore, Year LVII of the Republic (1855).
-- 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.
