intelligent life of the heart that teaches us to know good from

As long as our civilization is
essentially one of property, of fences, or exclusiveness, it will be
mocked by delusions. Our riches will leave us sick; there will be
bitterness in our laughter, and our wine will burn our mouth. Only
that good profits which we can taste with all doors open, and which
serves all men.
Emerson.

The intelligence is defeated as soon as the expression of one's
thoughts is preceded explicitly or implicitly by the little word
we. And when the light of the intelligence grows dim it is not
very long before the love of good becomes lost.

Today we frankly recognize that democracy can be no more than
aspiration, and have rule not so much by the people as the cleverest
people; not an aristocracy of birth, not a plutocracy of wealth, but
a true meritocracy of talent.

The literary market does not tolerate the old-fashioned idea of a
work of art as a unique, unrepeatable, deeply individual artistic
act. In the literary industry, writers are obedient workers, just a
link in the chain of production.
