"What I can't see-what I really can't see-is why everyone doesn't ask themselves that, all the time . How can these people bear to go to church and then go about in the streets and see what is there for everyone to see-and get told what the Bible says about the poor-and go on riding in carriages, and choosing neckties and hats-and eating huge beefsteaks-I can't see it."
"I have brought a book for you to read. I think probably you should not let it be seen in your home. But I think it will speak to you.
