Frank Norris Quotes
If I Were To Name The One Crying Evil Of American Life, Mr. Derrick, It Would Be The Indifference Of The Better People To Public Affairs. It Is So In All Our Great Centres. There Are Other Great Trusts, God Knows, In The United States Besides Our Own Dear P. And S.W. Railroad. Every State Has Its Own Grievance. If It Is Not A Railroad Trust, It Is A Sugar Trust, Or An Oil Trust, Or An Industrial Trust, That Exploits The People, Because The People Allow It. The Indifference Of The People Is The Opportunity Of The Despot. It Is As True As That The Whole Is Greater Than The Part, And The Maxim Is So Old That It Is Trite - It Is Laughable. It Is Neglected And Disused For The Sake Of Some New Ingenious And Complicated Theory, Some Wonderful Scheme Of Reorganization, The Fact Remains, Nevertheless, Simple, Fundamental, Everlasting. The People Have But To Say 'No' And Not The Strongest Tyranny, Political, Religious, Or Financial, That Was Ever Organized, Could Survive One Week.
