Jessi’s Quotes

“the essayist Montaigne had noted... Indians who visited France... "noticed among us some men gorged to the full with things of every sort while their other halves were beggars at their doors, emaciated with hunger and poverty. They found it strange that these poverty-stricken halves should suffer [that is, tolerate] such injustice, and that they did not take the others by the throat or set fire to their houses.”
― Charles C. Mann, 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus
