“The bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self.... And so at the cost of intensity he achieves his own preservation and security.

—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)

“... we all know the wag’s definition of a philanthropist: a man whose charity increases directly as the square of the distance.”
