ROBERTSON DAVIES And Democracy

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 Democracy,

which is supposed to set

all men free,

has in many respects

put all men [and women]

into chains of bourgeois uniformity.

We are free to be

exactly like everybody else.

 *** 

≈ ROBERTSON DAVIES ≈

(1960)

    I have commented on some of your pages—always Anonymously—
    for the simple reason that your subject matter interests me
    but it is with frustration at this time because I went to
    the ROBERTSON DAVIES link of 200 quotes and could not
    find this "Democracy" quote.
