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.
