The Impossible Generalized Man today is the critic who believes in loving those unworthy of love as well as those worthy - yet believes this only insofar as no personal risk is entailed. Meaning he loves no one, worthy or no. This is what makes him impossible.
The most powerful person is he who is able to do least himself and burden others most with the things for which he lends his name and pockets the credit.
