"The Abolition of Man", by C.S. Lewis

"We have been trying, like Lear, to have it both ways. To lay down our human prerogative and yet at the same time to retain it. It is impossible. Either we are rational spirit obliged for ever to obey the absolute values of the Tao, or else we are mere nature to be kneaded and cut into new shapes for the pleasures of masters who must, by hypothesis, have no motive but their own `natural' impulses."

-- C.S. Lewis.
