"At the Hut class meant nothing but values meant everything. If a person valued the same things as the writer it didn’t matter what his background was. But if a person judged the value as “against him or his own value,” then the writer dismissed him with contempt. After all, the writer had a background too. And he had fought aspects of the background for the ability to do what he wanted to do; what freedom demanded he do. Resentment had taught him the fine art of discrimination based on shared values, without which there was nothing but angry tribes."

And angry tribes could destroy values as easily as they could set fire to police cars."

“Torch the poet, he describes police cars!”

“Cut it all down, it is a small branch growing on the corrupt tree!”
