So long as there shall exist, by reason of law and custom, a social
condemnation, which, in the face of civilization, artificially creates
hells on earth, and complicates a destiny that is divine with human
fatality; so long as the three problems of the age—the degradation of
man by poverty, the ruin of women by starvation, and the dwarfing of
childhood by physical and spiritual night—are not solved; so long as, in
certain regions, social asphyxia shall be possible; in other words, and
from a yet more extended point of view, so long as ignorance and misery
remain on earth, books like this cannot be useless.
