Equality,' said Steerpike,' is the thing. It is the only true and central premise from which constructive ideas can radiate freely and be operated without prejudice. Absolute equality of status. Equality of wealth. Equality of power. ↗

Lately he had come to believe he held a special place in her heart, just below rattlesnakes, pederasts, and spirochetes.
