“I felt that it was unfair that my lack of a few pounds of flesh should deprive me of a chance at a good job but I had long ago emotionally rejected the world in which I lived and my reaction was: Well, this is the system by which people want the world to run whether it helps them or not.

It seemed that I simply could not fit into a materialistic life.”
― Richard Wright, Black Boy

― Jared Diamond, Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
