A stranger to human nature...
"A stranger to human nature, who saw the indifference of men about the misery of their inferiors, and the regret and indignation which they feel for the misfortunes and sufferings of those above them, would be apt to imagine that pain must be more agonizing, and the convulsions of death more terrible to persons of higher rank, than to those of meaner stations."
-Adam Smith, 1759
