"But I don't mind it when people are well off. The main thing is that the poor aren't humiliated."If only that were the case, but so often it seems that when people become rich they start to think of themselves as better than everyone else, and the poor as obstacles to their happiness, or perhaps just stepping stones to be walked on. From The Return of Lieutenant Boruvka by Josef Skvorecky, page 26.
