To have a home, a family, a property or a public function…

-

To be a useful cog in the social machine.

All these things seem necessary, even indispensable, to the vast majority of men, including intellectuals, and including even those who think of themselves as wholly liberated.

-

And yet such things are only a different form of the slavery that comes of contact with others.

-

Especially regulated and continued contact.
