Upton Sinclair
“In the south, you see, a "lady" takes for granted the slave-psychology in those she regards as her "social inferiors." Not merely does she expect immediate obedience from all members of the colored race; she feels the same way about policemen in uniform--it would never occur to her to think of a policeman as anything but a servant, prepared to behave as such.”
Upton Sinclair, The Brass Check: A Study of American Journalism / The Profits of Religion: An Essay in Economic Interpretation / The Book of Life

“I am neither an accountant nor a lawyer, and I am not sure that I would be able to make sense of all this even if I were. After talking with each of the Crickets, with Petty, with the Holleys and Maria Elena and others who were close to the situation, it is my own judgement that Holly and the Crickets never received much of what was rightfully theirs--although they may well have been paid all that was legally due to them. In the entertainment industry, even more than in other businesses, what is fair and what is legal are often worlds apart. This is just my opinion and others may conclude differently.”
John Goldrosen and John Beecher, Remembering Buddy: The Definitive Biography Of Buddy Holly

“My mother's mother's family moved north from Mexico having migrated from Spain, from Portugal, from Ireland, and likely from an Indian village somewhere.”
Gerald W. Haslam, Coming of Age in California: Personal Essays

“You said you like to write. . . . All you need are some couplets and a refrain. You just tell a story with words, about who screwed over whom, who broke whose heart, and how long they've been crying ever since. You know, just like real life.”
Danielle Steel, Country

Upton Sinclair
“In England where the radicals were allowed to gather in Hyde Park and say what they chose, crimes of political violence were practically unknown. On the other hand, in America, where it was customary for the police to arrest radicals and club and jail them, such crimes were common.”
Upton Sinclair, The Brass Check: A Study of American Journalism
