“While in junior high school, I became aware of social castes and realized they were weightier than racial categories. In the seventh grade, for the first time in my life, I was subjected to condescension by children of wealth, most of whom I considered jerks. It was frustrating because normal remedies did not apply: punching them out, earning better grades, consigning them to the bench in sports--nothing seemed to weaken the mind-set that assigned me an intrinsically inferior status: I still lived in Oildale and they summered in La Cresta; I summered at a packing shed, they summered at a country club.”

“It's a natural progression, for any country in the world worth living in, that travelers from across the seas bring with them their own magic but slowly erase some of the original identity of the new land they are now a part of. I see it in Australia these days, too. It's not a bad thing; it's just change. Inexorable change.”
― Rick Springfield, Late, Late at Night

“In any competitive society, woman is necessarily condemned to a position of inferiority by the burdens of maternity.”
― Upton Sinclair, The Brass Check: A Study of American Journalism (Classic Reprint) by Upton Sinclair
