“He witnessed the sufferings of the poor, and was aware of the evils of ignorance. He desired to induce every rich man to despoil himself of superfluity, and to create a brotherhood of property and service, and was ready to be the first to lay down the advantages of his birth. He was of too uncompromising a disposition to join any party… it seemed as easy to look forward to the sort of millennium of freedom and brotherhood, which he thought the proper state of mankind… He saw—in a fervent call on his fellow creatures to share alike the blessings of the creation, to love and serve each other—the noblest work that life and time permitted him.”

Mary Shelley 1797 – 1851 CE
from Notes on Queen Mab
