Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Now, as you well know, it is not seldom the case in this conventional world of ours -watery or otherwise; that when a person placed in command over his fellow-men finds one of them to be very significantly his superior in general pride of manhood, straightway against that man he conceives an unconquerable dislike and bitterness; and if he have a chance he will pull down and pulverize that subaltern’s tower, and make a little heap of dust of it.

Herman Melville (Moby Dick, Chapter LIV, The Town-Ho’s Story)
