It Is Not Possible To Create Peace

There Can Be No Immaculate Conception Of Socialism.

I Know That The Right Kind Of Political Leader For The Labour Party Is A Desiccated Calculating Machine.

I Have Never Regarded Politics As The Arena Of Morals. It Is The Arena Of Interest.

He Has The Lucidity Which Is The By-product Of A Fundamentally Sterile Mind. He Does Not Have To Struggle... With The Crowded Pulsations Of A Fecund Imagination. On The Contrary He Is Almost Devoid Of Imagination.

I Know That The Right Kind Of Leader For The Labour Party Is A Desiccated Calculating Machine Who Must Not In Any Way Permit Himself To Be Swayed By Indignation. If He Sees Suffering, Privation Or Injustice He Must Not Allow It To Move Him, For That Would Be Evidence Of The Lack Of Proper Education Or Of Absence Of Self-control. He Must Speak In Calm And Objective Accents And Talk About A Dying Child In The Same Way As He Would About The Pieces Inside An Internal Combustion Engine.
