Social Suds in the Terrestrial Tub.

Hence most men are driven out of their little worlds by fear of that age-old loneliness which besets the human animal; and from this fear has arisen sundry social agglomerations ranging from the family to the nation, and embracing clans, tribes, lodges, societies, sects, quorums, boards, associations, guilds, clubs, bridge parties—and even worse. Every man, being circumlocuted by the exigencies of his ego, and imprisoned in a cell of comparative mental inarticulation, flees to his fellows to gain some modicum of comfort from their physical presence. Thus the more lonely you are the greater social success you are likely to be.
