The following is the start of a chapter from "Citadel" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (my translation, and quoting from memory): My generals, in their solid stupidity, say that only those objects are in order which differ no more from each other. Thus, if I let them, they would take the sacred books, where any little child would see that the characters are all mixed up, and they would reorder them: all A's together, all B's together, and so on; and that way they would obtain a well-ordered book. A book for generals. (He goes on to say that a real "live" order happens when all people work, each at his own task, usually different from his neighbour's task, toward a common goal, as in a ship at sea, or an empire in full bloom.)
