Now I know that so long as we have social inequality we shall have snobs; we shall have men who bully and truckle, and women who snub and crawl. I know that it is futile to, spurn them, or lash them for trying to get on in the world, and that the world is what it must be from the selfish motives which underlie our economic life.
- William Dean Howells

But within her lips, the petals,
Lurks a cruel bee that stings. - William Dean Howells
