The man who has dedicated himself to the success of the protect, the master builder, no longer has any freedom: his conduct is now determined altogether by the constraining force of the end. Logically, therefore, he is bound to require at every moment from his companions whatever will best serve that end, and he demands of them imperiously whatever he thinks is of that nature. This imperiousness, though to immediate view that of the master, springs ultimately from the project itself, for it is the project which is in command. In the eyes of those under him, however, it is the master who hustles them, and they think him inhuman by reason of his disregard of their moods and personalities and his inability to see them other than as servants of the project (like himself).

Command is a mountaintop. The air breathed there is different, and the perspectives seen there are different, from those of the valley of obedience.

The man who has grown great sees from the top of his tower what he can make, if he so wills, of the swarming masses below him.
Bertrand de Jouvenel
