Then he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling things there; and he said, "It is written, My house shall... be a house of prayer'; but you have made it a den of robbers."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There is the rich quarter, with its houses of pink and white, and its crumbling, leafy terraces.... There is the poorer quarter, its homes a deep blue. There is the market, where men are selling hats and swatting fliesLESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
So by all means let's have a television show quick and long, even if the commercial has to be delivered by a man in a white coat w...ith a stethoscope hanging around his neck, selling ergot pills. After all the public is entitled to what it wants, isn't it? The Romans knew that and even they lasted four hundred years after they started to putrefy.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Like other colonial peoples, adolescents are economically dependent on the dominant society, and appear in its accounts as the ben...eficiaries of its philanthropy. Like them also, adolescents are partly dependent because of their immature stage of development, but even more because of restrictions placed upon them by the dominant society.... Nevertheless, "teen-agers" do have money.... They scrounge it from home or earn it at odd times, and this, too, contributes to their colonial status. The "teen-age" market is big business. We all share an economic interest in the dependency of the "teen-ager." The school is interested in keeping him off the streets and in custody. Labor is interested in keeping him off the labor market. Business and industry are interested in seeing that his tastes become fads and in selling him specialized junk that a more mature taste would reject. Like a dependent native, the "teen-ager" is encouraged to be economically irresponsible because his sources of income are undependable and do not derive from his personal qualities.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

And I know, what perhaps you think I don't know, you are now selling yourselve...s to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May God's curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wifes and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I concluded that I was skilled, however poorly, at only one thing: marriage. And so I set about the business of selling myself and... two children to some unsuspecting man who might think me a desirable second-hand mate, a man of good means and disposition willing to support another man's children in some semblance of the style to which they were accustomed. My heart was not in the chase, but I was tired and there was no alternative. I could not afford freedom.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
