“I have never said that human society ought to be aristocratic, but a great deal more than that. What I have said, and still believe with ever-increasing conviction, is that human society is always, whether it will or no, aristocratic by its very essence, to the extreme that it is a society in the measure that it is aristocratic, and ceases to be such when it ceases to be aristocratic. Of course I am speaking now of society and not of the State.” BelieveHumansSaidStillsStatesCoursesDealsOughtEssenceConvictionExtremesCeaseHuman SocietyAristocratic Book:the Revolt of the Masses Source: the Revolt of the Masses
