“People who are much too sensitive to demand of cripples that they run races ask of the poor that they get up and act just like everyone else in society”
“That the poor are invisible is one of the most important things about them. They are not simply neglected and forgotten as in the old rhetoric of reform; what is much worse, they are not seen.”
“Our affluent society contains those of talent and insight who are driven to prefer poverty, to choose it, rather than to submit to the desolation of an empty abundance. It is a strange part of the other America that one finds in the intellectual slums.”
“For the most part, everyone's in the same area on price -- everyone knows basically where the number should be and is a little above or below for whatever reason. You need to work with somebody you can trust. I'd say look for someone who will be honest with you right up front. That tells me I'm not going to have problems in the long run.”
