"Der erste, der ein Stück Land mit einem Zaun umgab und auf den Gedanken kam zu sagen »Dies gehört mir« und der Leute fand, die einfältig genug waren, ihm zu glauben, war der eigentliche Begründer der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft. Wie viele Verbrechen, Kriege, Morde, wieviel Elend und Schrecken wäre dem Menschengeschlecht erspart geblieben, wenn jemand die Pfähle ausgerissen und seinen Mitmenschen zugerufen hätte: »Hütet euch, dem Betrüger Glauben zu schenken; ihr seid verloren, wenn ihr vergesst, dass zwar die Früchte allen, aber die Erde niemandem gehört«."
