 It is natural, and nigh inevitable, for a man reflecting more or less disengagedly on the objects of his various parcelled interests to acquire a second-order zest for the interesting as such and for any and every interest.(TC: 70)...impersonality is by its nature contagious. It obeys a ‘logic’ and that logic is to spread, to level farther and farther, to become more and more absolute. Once speak for some, and one will find oneself readily forced into speaking for more, until, in all situations not warped by personal bias, one comes to speak for all: impersonality resembles the scriptural mustard-seed in whose branches the fowls of the air ultimately find their accommodation.
