“The modern ‘liberal’ world, as I have come to understand it is making its way straight toward what C. S. Lewis calls ‘the abolition of man’—toward a society devoid of reverence, variety and the higher imagination, in which ‘everyone belongs to everyone else,’ in which there is collectivism without community, equality without love. Most liberals want each man, woman, and child to submit to a regime of life in death, a colorless mediocrity and monotony in society, an emptiness of heart, a poverty of imagination.”
