the antipeople:
"They are blind, like the law. And equally brutal. The only escape from the brutalities of the shabby law of the uniform is to be big - big as in bigshot. And there is also a communicable kind of bigness, the bigness through contact that comes from being a relative or friend of the original bigshot. Dadou remembered something else he had read: Africa, that great shit-heap where one will take his place. What a putrid shit-heap of the word was! Neither more nor less than a great big shit market."
If a test of civilization be sought, none can be so sure as the condition of that half of society over which the other half has power.
