-All I Survey (1933)

"...they are not submitting a variety of actions to one test; they are applying a variety of tests to one action,"
People will make attempts at despotism,
or demands for freedom, successively or even simultaneously,
according to a quite arbitrary program of opportunism.
And we feel that they are not submitting a variety of actions
to one test; they are applying a variety of tests to one action,
which is for them already a fixed and settled action.
They do what they want, and make up reasons for it afterwards;
but even the reasons are rather too cunning to be reasonable.
In a word, it is this chaos, in the creed and code of conduct,
that prevents a man from finding in it any sort of guide,
even a guide to progress.
