The society based on production is only productive, not creative.

As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.

Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.

To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.

Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best stage, is but a necessary evil in its worst state an intolerable one.
