"...my conclusion directly contradicts the original idea I start from.
Starting from unlimited freedom, I conclude with unlimited despotism.
I will add, however, that apart from my solution to the social
formula, there is no other."
-- "Shigalyov" in Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky
(1871-1872). tr. Richard Pevear and Larissa
