Eliry13 января 2015- [...] you held the tyrannical State to be the most miserable of States?
- And I was right, he said.
- Certainly, I said. And when you see the same evils in the tyrannical man, what do you say of him?
- I say that he is by far the most miserable of all men.
- There, I said, I think that you are beginning to go wrong.
- What do you mean?
- I do not think that he has as yet reached the utmost extreme of misery.
- Then who is more miserable?
- One of whom I am about to speak.
- Who is that?
- He who is of a tyrannical nature, and instead of leading a private life has been cursed with the further misfortune of being a public tyrant.
- From what has been said, I gather that you are right.
