“No single individual (I mean no outstanding individual — in the sense of leadership and conceived according to the dialectical category ‘fate’) will be able to arrest the abstract process of leveling, for it is negatively something higher, and the age of chivalry is gone. No society or association can arrest that abstract power, simply because an association is itself in the service of the leveling process.”
