Quote by Edward Dahlberg

Those who write for lucre or fame are grosser than the cartel robbers, for they steal the genius of the people, which is its will to resist evil.

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who write solely for money or recognition are even more contemptible than those involved in criminal activities like theft, as they are effectively stealing the genuine creativity and inspiration of the people. It implies that the true essence of a society lies in its collective ability to stand against wrongdoing, and those who exploit their talent solely for personal gain hinder this fundamental force of resistance that drives positive change.

They had no conversation together, no intercourse but what the commonest civility required. Once so much to each other! Now nothing! There had been a time, when of all the large party now filling the drawing-room at Uppercross, they would have found it most difficult to cease to speak to one another. With the exception, perhaps, of Admiral and Mrs. Croft, who seemed particularly attached and happy, (Anne could allow no other exception even among the married couples) there could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so simliar, no feelings so in unison, no countenances so beloved. Now they were as strangers; nay, worse than strangers, for they could never become aquainted. It was a perpetual estrangement.
