"The jurist is totally unacquainted with the problem of the value of money; he knows nothing of fluctuations in its exchange-value.

"The concept of reason itself appears as an artificial attempt to separate intellectual powers from the frustrations, emotions, and accidents which cause events; the concept of reason is viewed as facade to prevent change."
