This Obscure Point

“The less you are able to realize other people, the more your particular personality will obsess you, and the more dependent upon its reality you will be. The more you will insist on it with a certain frenzy. And the more ‘individualist’ you are in this sense, the less ‘individualist’ you will be in the ordinary political sense. You will have achieved a fantastic hegemony with your unique self feeling.” - Wyndham Lewis, Time and Western Man, Book I, ch. I, p. 8.
