As Carson McCullers described Columbus Georgia:

"What I'm trying to tell you is plain and simple. The bastards who own
these mills are millionaires. While the doffers and carders and all the
people behind the machines who spin and weave the cloth can't hardly
make enough to keep their guts quiet. See? So when you walk around the
streets and think about it and see hungry, worn-out people and
ricket-legged younguns, don't it make you mad? Don't it?"

-Jake from
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
by Carson McCullers
