squalor quotes

That vast portion†of the working-class which, raw and half-developed has long lain half-hidden amidst its poverty and squalor, and is now issuing from its hiding- place to assert an Englishman's heaven-born privilege of doing as he likes, and is beginning to perplex us by marching where it likes, meeting where it likes, bawling what it likes,breaking what it likestothisvast residuum we may with great propriety give the name of Populace.

- Matthew Arnold
