All man are mortal. Simone de Beaviour (Destroyed the illusion that anything we try to accomplish survives in the long run - and thus immortality is something worth striving towards.) The Rise and Fall of Communism & The Dispossesed (Destroyed the illusion that any anarchic/utopic societys can work without a constant surplus with humans instincts - even just channeling human nature away from self destructive cyclic behavior is nearly utopic.)
