“It's a bunch of people with master's degrees coming in and using us as guinea pigs. … Because they think they're social workers. But their minds work like anthropologists or missionaries trying to save the natives. They're so out of touch from our experience. They've never suffered, they've never been desperate—so the ideas that work in their world just won't take down here.” — Philip Wyeth
