The queer thing is that we do trust you, " said Bodisham. "In spite of your -- extremism."" You'd better, " said Rud with grim conviction. "I'm right. What is extremism? The whole truth and nothing but the truth. I ask you."" It's because of his extremism you trust him, " said Chiffan. "It's because in the last resort we believe in his indiscretion, and know he won't fail us even if we fail ourselves. All leadership is extravagance. Extra-vagance. Going a bit ahead." Rud did not quite understand that. "It's because you know I'm right, " he said." It's because, " said Chiffan, letting his thoughts run away with him, " to make a new world, the leader must be a fundamentally destructive man, a recklessly destructive man. He breaks his way through the jungle and we follow.. We cannot do without you, Rud. H.G. Wells
