I think democratic peoples have a natural taste for freedom; left to themselves they seek it, they love it, and they will see themselves parted from it only with sorrow. But for equality they have an ardent, insatiable, eternal, invincible passion; they want equality in freedom, and if they cannot get it, they will want it in slavery. They will tolerate poverty, enslavement, barbarism, but they will not tolerate an aristocracy. --Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America.
