Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London

"I don't know. All I do know is that poor people can't be happy
in the city where they have labor troubles all the time. If they
can't be happy in the country, then there's no happiness
anywhere, and that doesn't seem fair, does it?"

"It is sound reasoning, my dear, as far as it goes. But you must
remember that there are many poor people in the country and many
unhappy people."
