That all men are equal is an assertiion to which, at ordinary times, no sane
human being has ever given assent. A man who has to undergo a dangerous
operation does not act on the supposition that one doctor is just as good as
another. And when they require Civil Servants, even the most democratic
governments take a careful selection among their theoretically equal subjects.
At ordinary times, then, we are perfectly certain that men are not equal. But
when, in a democratic country, we think or act politically we are no less certain
that me are equal.

Aldous Huxley, Proper Studies
