Quote of the Day!

Pride

Let all who will
Eat quietly the bread of shame.
I cannot,
Without complaining loud and long,
Tasting its bitterness in my throat,
And feeling to my very soul
It's wrong.
For honest work
You proffer me poor pay,
For honest dreams
Your spit is in my face,
And so my fist is clenched-
Today-
To strike your face.

Langston Hughes, 1938, aus "A New Song" - gewidmet an Gerhard Fuchs, für den das Schimmelmann-Debakel auch nach seiner Beförderung nicht zu Ende ist!
