"Think of the whole country as a big household, and the whole nation [or world] as a big family ... What do we see? Half-fed, badly clothed, abominably housed children ... and the money that should go to feed and clothe and house them being spent on bottles of scent, pearl necklaces, pet dogs, racing motor cars, January strawberries that taste like corks ... the nation that spends money on champagne before it has provided enough milk for its babies, or gives dainty meals to Sealyham terriers and Alsatian wolf-hounds whilst the infant mortality rate shows that its children are dying by the thousands from insufficient nourishment, is a badly managed, silly, vain, stupid ignorant nation."
- George Bernard Shaw
