" "¨La igualdad de condiciones no han existido jamas, merced a nuestras pasiones y nuestra ignorancia, pero nuestra oposición a esta ley demuestra mas y mas su necesidad; La historia es un constante testimonio de ello. La sociedad avanza de ecuación en ecuación; Las revoluciones de los imperios ofrecen a los ojos del observador economista que los números son la providencia de la historia. El Progreso de la humanidad ha contado con un sinnúmero de causas ocultas que conmueven a los pueblos, pero no hay una tan potente, regular, ni mas significativa que las explosiones periódicas del proletariado contra la propiedad, actuando simultáneamente por la eliminación y la ocupación a medida que la población se multiplica. Ha sido el principio generador y la causa determinante de todas las revoluciones. Las guerras de religión y de conquista, cuando no llegaron a la exterminación de las razas, fueron solamente perturbaciones accidentales, cuyo inmediato restablecimiento procuró el progreso natural de la vida de los pueblos. Este es el poder de acumulación de la propiedad, esta es la ley de degradación y muerte de propiedades¨.

Habit, like a second nature, has the power of fixing in the mind new categorical forms derived from the appearances which impress us, and by them usually stripped of objective reality, but whose influence over our judgments is no less predetermining than that of the original categories. Hence we reason by the eternal and absolute laws of our mind, and at the same time by the secondary rules, ordinarily faulty, which are suggested to us by imperfect observation. This is the most fecund source of false prejudices, and the permanent and often invincible cause of a multitude of errors. The bias resulting from these prejudices is so strong that often, even when we are fighting against a principle which our mind thinks false, which is repugnant to our reason, and which our conscience disapproves, we defend it without knowing it, we reason in accordance with it, and we obey it while attacking it. Enclosed within a circle, our mind revolves about itself, until a new observation, creating within us new ideas, brings to view an external principle which delivers us from the phantom by which our imagination is possessed.
Society was saved by the negation of its own principles, by a revolution in its religion, and by violation of its most sacred rights. In this revolution, the idea of justice spread to an extent that had not before been dreamed of, never to return to its original limits. Heretofore justice had existed only for the masters; it then commenced to exist for the slaves.
