"If you who own the things people must have could understand this, you might preserve yourself. If you could seperate causes from results, if you could know that Pain, Marx, Jefferson, Lenin, were results, not causes, you might survive. But that you cannont know. For the quality of owning forces you forever into "I, " and cuts you off forever from the "we."
