“Man has become a tool of his own work, and has no more
sense, since he serves the machine. It has stolen him away from his soul. And
now the soul demands his return. This is the vital point. All that we
experience is but the strenuous battle between the soul and the machine fort he
possession of man. We no longer live, we are lived; we have no freedom left, we
may not decide for ourselves, we are finished, man is unsouled, nature
unmanned.” – Hermann Bahr, Expressionismus, Munich 1914
