"After forty years, with whatever authority comes from lived experience, I can say: You, too, can create something. You can nurture it and watch it grow."

You may cut off the heads of every rich man now living--of every statesman--every literary, and every scientific authority, without in the least changing the social situation. Artists, of course, disappeared long ago as social forces. So did the church. Corporations are not elevators, but levellers, as I see them.
