Summary

This quote suggests that when we are suspicious of others' intentions, it often stems from our own insecurities and self-doubt. By secretly condemning ourselves, we project our negative feelings onto others and view them skeptically. In other words, our own feelings of guilt or lack of trust in ourselves can influence how we perceive and suspect the actions or motivations of those around us. This quote emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and recognizing how our own internal struggles can shape our perceptions of others.

The most transient visitor to this planet, I thought, who picked up this paper could not fail to be aware, even from this scattered testimony, that England is under the rule of a patriarchy. Nobody in their senses could fail to detect the dominance of the professor. His was the power and the money and the influence. He was the proprietor of the paper and its editor and sub-editor. He was the Foreign Secretary and the Judge. He was the cricketer; he owned the racehorses and the yachts. He was the director of the company that pays two hundred per cent to its shareholders. He left millions to charities and colleges that were ruled by himself. He suspended the film actress in mid-air. He will decide if the hair on the meat axe is human; he it is who will acquit or convict the murderer, and hang him, or let him go free. With the exception of the fog he seemed to control everything.
