“This pandering to the rich disgusts me,' James said. 'Every day I find workmen putting up walls about a section of the ward to make a new private room for a general or an official.' 'It is not pandering,' Dr. Peng said. Virtue shone in his narrow brilliantly black eyes. 'It is necessity, Charity patients do not pay. Generals and officials and millionaires pay very well. I daresay you would complain Dr. Liang, if your salary were curtailed--an excellent salary it is, too ...' James glared into the handsome smooth face. Then he turned and went out, slamming the door slightly.”

“Douglass laid aside his pen for a moment, opened the curtains to the still dark. No sounds at all. On the street, a lone man in rags hurried along, hunched into the wind. He thought then that he had found the word for Dublin: a huddled city. He, too, had spent so many years huddled into himself.”

“У 1958 році американський політолог Едвард Бенфілд сформулював впливову теорію, відповідно до якої низький рівень економічного розвитку в цьому регіоні пов’язаний з міцними родинними зв’язками. За його словами, такі зв’язки зменшують довіру до членів інших родів і негативно впливають на співпрацю заради спільної мети, що знижує рівень економічного розвитку в регіоні.”

“Дуже часто рекомендації західних держав щодо розвитку політики в бідніших країнах мало відрізняються від «ритуалів відновлення» в жителів острова Танна. Вони передбачають зовнішню імітацію інститутів, що мають стосунок до економічного процвітання розвинених країн, без належного врахування передумов їхнього добробуту — умов, яких у відсталіших державах може й не бути.”

“Antisthenes was not the first to differ significantly from the Hesiodic assessment of work. Rather, his proposition that ponos is a good rather than an unwelcome punishment was preceded by the emergence of an "industrious optimism" especially after the late fifth century. Optimistic man sets himself above environmental forces and asserts himself in the world as an indomitable force. Rather than accepting a god-given lot, he dares to "take fate by the throat." Rather than plodding the old furrows, he strikes out in a new direction, gives himself new tasks, implements his own plans, accepts his own failures. Some are more driven than others. The most ambitious impose upon themselves the greatest tasks and work incessantly for success. Some terrible restlessness goads these imperialists on, and as they hunt victory relentlessly they stamp down the weak and scoff at talk of justice. What do they want? It is hard to tell, since no success seems to satisfy them. Each triumph inspires new undertakings, each disaster resilient hope. They seem to toil on without end, as if human desire itself were infinite.”
