Quote by D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence
You must drop all your democracy. You must not believe in the people. One class is no better than another. It must be a case of Wisdom, or Truth. Let the working classes be working classes. That is the truth. There must be an aristocracy of people who have wisdom, and there must be a Ruler: a Kaiser: no Presidents and democracies.
Summary
This quote suggests a rejection of democracy and emphasizes the importance of wisdom and truth over the equality of all classes. It advocates for the existence of an aristocracy led by a ruler, such as a Kaiser, rather than a system of presidents and democracies. The quote implies that social order and governance should be based on the notion that the working classes should remain as such, while a select few who possess wisdom should hold power. It portrays a belief in hierarchy and a call for a leader who can guide society based on their wisdom rather than being elected.
