The Civilized… murder their children by producing too many of them without being able to provide for their well-being. Morality or theories of false virtue stimulate them to manufacture cannon fodder, anthills of conscripts who are forced to sell themselves out of poverty. This improvident paternity is a false virtue, the selfishness of pleasure.
Charles FourierWho is wiser: the man who plants flowers along life's way or the man who makes it bristle with thorns?
Charles FourierCivilization is a social plague on the planet, and vices are just as necessary to it as is a virus to disease.
