The Road to Wigan Pier QUOTES

81 " Another working-class characteristic, disconcerting at first, is their plain-spokenness towards anyone they regard as an equal. If you offer a working-man something he doesn’t want, he tells you that he doesn’t want it; a middle-class person would accept it to avoid giving offence. And again, take the working-class attitude towards “education.” How different it is from ours, and how immensely sounder! "

― George Orwell , The Road to Wigan Pier
