"Man muß trock’nes Brot mit Tränen gegessen haben, man muß Angst und Sorge um die Zukunft geliebter gehörigen empfunden haben, um sich mit voller Seele den Idealen der Sozialisten: Kommunismus und freie Liebe hinzugeben. Das ist das Bewunderungswürdige im Weltgang, seine Harmonie, daß der Weise, der Edle, der Gute und Gerechte mit Hilfe der Vernunft und seines reinen Gefühls genau dasselbe fordern muß, was die rohesten Egoisten fordern. Gerade Diejenigen, welche wahrhaft ihre Geschwister lieben, verlangen, daß es keine Geschwister mehr geben soll, gerade Diejenigen, welche für sich genug haben, aber in das Elend Anderer gestarrt haben, verlangen, daß es kein Eigentum mehr geben, d.h. daß es nur ein Gesamt-Eigentum geben solle."
