There are two kinds of dependence: dependence on things, which is the work of nature; and dependence on men… — Jean Jacques Rousseau

There are two kinds of dependence: dependence on things, which is the work of nature; and dependence on men, which is the work of society. Dependence on things, being non-moral, does no injury to liberty and begets no vices; dependence on men, being out of order, gives rise to every kind of vice, and through this master and slave become mutually depraved.
