Line 15:
'''Del Fuego:''' Precisely, and there ends your absorption of the talents. That is what I complain of your cosmopolitanism. When you say [[Political Correctness Gone Mad|you want all peoples to unite]], you really mean that you want all peoples to unite to learn the tricks of your people. If the Bedouin Arab does not know how to read, some English missionary or schoolmaster must be sent to teach him to read, but no one ever says, 'This schoolmaster does not know how to ride on a camel; let us pay a Bedouin to teach him.' You say your civilisation will include all talents. Will it? Do you really mean to say that at the moment when the Esquimaux has learnt to vote for a County Council, you will have learnt to spear a walrus?

{{quote|We have actually contrived to invent a new kind of hypocrite. The old hypocrite, [[Tartuffe]] or Pecksniff, was a man whose aims were really worldly and practical, while he pretended that they were religious. [[Inverted Trope|The new hypocrite]] is one whose aims are really religious, while he pretends that they are worldly and practical. The Rev. Brown, the Wesleyan minister, sturdily declares that he cares nothing for creeds, but only for education; meanwhile, in truth, the wildest Wesleyanism is tearing his soul. The Rev. Smith, of the Church of England, explains gracefully, with the Oxford manner, that the only question for him is the prosperity and efficiency of the schools; while in truth all the evil passions of a curate are roaring within him. It is a fight of creeds masquerading as policies. I think these reverend gentlemen do themselves wrong; I think they are more pious than they will admit. Theology is not (as some suppose) expunged as an error. It is merely concealed, like a sin. Dr. Clifford really wants a theological atmosphere as much as Lord Halifax; only it is a different one.

{{quote|This has nothing to do with politics, but how oblivious do you have to be to wear an "Animal Liberation NOW" shirt while walking around with a distressed dog on a ''leash'' -- and ''muzzled''!
