Men are still men. The despot's wickedness Comes of ill teaching, and of power's excess,-- Comes of the purple he from childhood wears, Slaves would be tyrants if the chance were theirs.
Victor Hugo
Image
If the infinite had no me, then me would be its limit. It would not be the infinite, therefore it would not be.
