"A man is never morally neutral. That is why he is always either morally true or false, or both, which is the most frequent. People have acted and behaved differently, but they have always spoken in the same way about justice, truth, equality, and freedom: the wise men and heroes out of sincerity because of truth, and the politi­cians and demagogues hypocritically and out of interest. Still, the false morality of demagogues and hypocrites is no less significant to the topic we are discussing. Their feigned morality, their moral mask, their centuries-old campaigning with the words "justice," "equality ," "humanity ," and so on confirm the reality of morals as do the noble sufferings of heroes and saints. Political history, especially that of recent times, is full of examples of how enemies of freedom, while maintaining the apparatus for repression and spying, maintain at the same time another one for speaking incessantly and loudly of freed om and justice. Hypocrisy, as false morality, proves the value of true morality, just as the temporary value of forged money is owing to the fact that there is legal tender. Hypocrisy is a proof that everyone expects or requires moral conduct from everyone else."
