Bondage And Service - that was what they all demanded and from everyone. This craving to find themselves in another, to subjugate and appropriate foreign territory, to create a new field for their own will in a second body, foreign flesh for their own soul; this greedy, consuming hunger devoured every other desire, and they called it friendship! Hermann Bahr
About This Quote

The desire to find love in another is what the revolutionary group, The Brotherhood, looked for. They desired to create a new field for their own will in another body. The group had no interest in subjugating others. They just wanted to create a new territory of their own.

They wanted to create a new space where they could feel comfortable and owned it. This desire for ownership was the only thing that consumed every other desire. They called this drive, "friendship."
