(p.vii) Epigraph
- Source:
- Adam Smith's Pluralism
- Publisher:
- Yale University Press
- so many selves(so many fiends and gods
- each greedier than every) is a man
- (so easily one in another hides;
- yet man can, being all, escape from none)
- so huge a tumult is the simplest wish:
- so pitiless a massacre the hope
- most innocent(so deep's the mind of flesh
- and so awake what waking calls asleep)
- so never is most lonely man alone
- (his briefest breathing lives some planet's year,
- his longest life's a heartbeat of some sun;
- his least unmotion roams the youngest star)
- — how should a fool that calls him ‘I’ presume
- to comprehend not numerable whom?
- —e e cummings
(p.viii)Men of principle? Stalin, Hitler, these are men of principle. Give me a man who wants a little sex and a little money, and we'll be alright.
