"But to manipulate men, to propel them toward goals
which you -- the social reformers -- see, but they may not,
is to deny their human essence,
to treat them as objects without wills of their own,
and therefore to degrade them." | by: | Isaiah Berlin
(1909-1997) Russian-British social and political theorist, philosopher, historian |
