Quote with 9 notes

A large dog stands beside the highway. If he walks trustfully onto it he will be run over. His peaceful expression indicated that normally he is better looked after- a pet which no one harms. But do the sons of the upper bourgeoisie, whom no one harms, have peaceful expressions on their faces? They have not been worse looked after than the dog, which is now run over.
