Wallace Stegner Quotes
Some Of Our Superiors Were Indeed Men Of Brains And Learning And Disinterested Goodwill, But Some Were Stuffed Shirts, And Some Incompetents, And Some Timid Souls Escaping The Fray, And Some Climbers, And Some As Bitter And Jealous As Some Of Us Were At Being Inadequately Appreciated. But Still There They Were, Up In The Sunshine Above The Smoke, A Patch-elbowed Tweedy Elite That We Might Improve When We Joined It, But That We Never Questioned. Especially During The Depression, When Every Frog Of Us Was Lustful For A Lily Pad.
