This is why the processes of evolution and revolution the only wholly social or collective processes are the most efficacious, while partial rebellion and, still more, individual violence have only a very feeble power of social transformation; they are, moreover, anti-social and anti-human, because they re-awaken the primitive savage instincts, and because they deny, in the very person whom they strike down, the principle with which they believe themselves animated the principle of respect for human life and of solidarity.
The Turks were described on high political authority as 'the one great anti-human specimen of humanity.

The faith of Christians angered him because he was more pessimist than a healthy man should be.
