Respectability

Prestige is the shadow of money and power. Where these are, there it is. Like the national market for soap or automobiles and the enlarged arena of federal power, the national cash-in area for prestige has grown, slowly being consolidated into a truly national system.
- Mills, C. Wright

The worst indignity is to be given a bedpan by a stranger who calls you by your first name.
Kuhn, Maggie

We ought not to treat living creatures like shoes or household belongings, which when worn with use we throw away.
Plutarch
