"“These are not Men you are talking about,” said Violet. “They are aliens who eat insects, wantonly brutalize small animals, have yet to discover the wheel or the lever, and live in burrows. Would you have them remain at this stage of social evolution forever?” “Certainly not—but I would not force change upon them.” “Oh?” she said sardonically. “Then may I presume that you have not attempted to spread the word of Our Lord Jesus Christ among them?” “That is not the same thing.” “Of course not. You are doing it, not I.” She smiled. “I believe the word for that is ‘hypocrite’.”"
