1 " I don't imagine book elitists as my audience when writing. I dream about teachers, morticians and garbage men instead. "
― Justin Alcala , The Devil in the Wide City
2 " Christianity and Socialism Compared" Socialism is the antithesis of Christianity. Socialism is filled with elitists and Christianity is the faith of servants.Socialism is filled with submission to man. Christianity is submission to the God/man - Jesus Christ.The socialist lives under strong delusion. Christians are taught by the Holy Spirit who deals only in truth.Socialism will die with time and it's fall will be a blip on the radar of eternity. Those who die advocating socialism will suffer the wrath of a holy God forever. Christianity will stand forever and its adherents will live on in the presence of the absolute ruler of the universe in joy and peace forever." C R Lord © 2017 "
3 " So, fuck ’em, we say. Fuck the mundane of Mainstream, the elitists of Literature. We’re GENRE FICTION and proud of it, proud to wear that brand painted on the backs of our biker’s jackets. "
― Hal Duncan , Rhapsody: Notes on Strange Fictions
4 " The true elitists in the literary world are the ones who have become annoyed by literary ambition in any form, who have converted the very meaning of ambition so totally that it now registers as an act of disdain, a hostility to the poor common reader, who should never be asked to do anything that might lead to a pulled muscle. (What a relief to be told there's no need to bother with a book that might seem thorny, or abstract, or unusual.) The elitists are the ones who become angry when it is suggested to them that a book with low sales might actually deserve a prize (...) and readers were assured that the low sales figures for some of the titles could only mean that the books had failed our culture's single meaningful literary test.

5 " Our education system is today run by left-wing elitists who believe the US is too big, too arrogant, and must be reigned-in... Real sad. "

6 " Western civilisation, the élitists all understood, is built upon discrimination: a culture that does not rest on discrimination, that penalises people who discriminate, or rewards the undiscriminating, is worth very little and has only callow, childish pleasures. "
― , Proust at the Majestic
7 " As a result, amongst working-class Americans, government is now generally seen as being made up of two sorts of people: " politicians," who are blustering crooks and liars but can at least occasionally be voted out of office, and " bureaucrats," who are condescending elitists almost impossible to uproot.
