A Moving-Picture of Democracy, 1913] |
"...If the Single Tax people were as good at being
intuitionalists or idea-salesmen as they are at being philosophers
in ideas they would long before this have turned everything their
way. They would have begun with people's hungers and worked out
from them. They would have listened to people to find out what
their hungers were. The people who will stop being theoretical and
logical about each other and who will look hard into each other's
eyes will be the people whose ideas will first come to pass.
Everything we try to do or say or bring to pass in England or
America is going to begin after this, not in talking, but in
listening..."
