What Makes Man Different from Animals.10


“[T]he true virtue of human beings is fitness to live together as equals; claiming nothing for themselves but what they as freely concede to everyone else; regarding command of any kind as an exceptional necessity, and in all cases a temporary one; and preferring, whenever possible, the society of those with whom leading and following can be alternate and reciprocal.”

--John Stuart Mill, The Subjection of Women (democracy makes man different from animals!)
