“…Tal costumbre hace a los hombres falsos y solapados. Quien puede sospechar en otro un delator, ve en él un enemigo. Entonces los hombres se acostumbran a enmascarar los sentimientos propios y, con el uso de escondérselos a otros, llegan finalmente a escondérselos a sí mismos. ¡Desgraciados los hombres cuando llegan a tal extremo!. Sin principios claros e inamovibles que los guían, vagan perdidos y fluctuantes en el vasto mar de las opiniones; permanentemente ocupados en salvarse de los monstruos que los amenazan , viven el momento presente amargado con la incertidumbre del futuro…”

“Yet, while it is true that a single person can create multiple electronic identities that are linked only by their common progenitor, that link, almost invisible in the virtual world, is of great significance, and can often be quickly individuated.”

“That is the key to history. Terrific energy is expended—civilizations
are built up—excellent institutions devised; but each time something
goes wrong. Some fatal flaw always brings the selfish and cruel people
to the top, and then it all slides back into misery and ruin. In fact,
the machine conks. It seems to start up all right and runs a few yards,
and then it breaks down.”
