Famous quotes containing the word inequality:

    The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... “Equality for equals, inequality for unequals”Mthat would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, “Never make equal what is unequal.”
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Nature is unfair? So much the better, inequality is the only bearable thing, the monotony of equality can only lead us to boredom.
    Francis Picabia (1878–1953)
