[Marxists and capitalists agree on beliefs] which play such a great role in twentieth century thought... [they] pretend that man is his own producer and maker... even though it is clear that nobody has "made" himself or "produced" his existence; this, I think, is the last of the metaphysical fallacies, corresponding to the modern age's emphasis on willing as a substitute for thinking... Hannah Arendt, Life of the Mind, volume one, page 215

 [Modern man is in] "…rebellion against human existence as it has been given, a free gift from nowhere (secularly speaking), which he wishes to exchange, as it were, for something he has himself made. Hannah Arendt, Life of the Mind, volume one, page 215
