“La civiltà, dopo aver concesso a ognuno di noi la libertà e averci resi fieri come tigri, ci getta in una gabbia, per mantenere il mondo tranquillo. Questa non è una vera pace. È la pace della tigre nel giardino zoologico, che se ne sta sdraiata fissando furiosamente gli uomini. Se si spezzasse solo una sbarra della gabbia il mondo sarebbe fatto a pezzi.”
