“…Tal costumbre hace a los hombres falsos y solapados. Quien puede sospechar en otro un delator, ve en él un enemigo. Entonces los hombres se acostumbran a enmascarar los sentimientos propios y, con el uso de escondérselos a otros, llegan finalmente a escondérselos a sí mismos. ¡Desgraciados los hombres cuando llegan a tal extremo!.

are built up—excellent institutions devised; but each time something
goes wrong. Some fatal flaw always brings the selfish and cruel people
to the top, and then it all slides back into misery and ruin. In fact,
the machine conks. It seems to start up all right and runs a few yards,
and then it breaks down.”
