“[M]an … is moulded by society just as effectively as society is moulded by him. You can no more have the egg without the hen than you can have the hen without the egg… . It is not that the view of man as an individual is more or less misleading than the view of him as a member of the group; it is the attempt to draw a distinction between the two which is misleading.”
Edward Hallett Carr, What Is History? (New York: Vintage Books, 1961), 39, 57–58.
