    “We who are liberal and progressive know that the poor are our equals in every sense except that of being equal to us.”
    —Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)

    “The American doctrinaire is the converse of the American demagogue, and, in this way, is scarcely less injurious to the public. The first deals in poetry, the last in cant. He is as much a visionary on one side, as the extreme theoretical democrat is a visionary on the other.”
