Anzia Yezierska Quotes
At last I came to college. I rushed for it with the outstretched arms of youth's aching hunger to give and take of life's deepest, and highest, and I came against the solid wall of the well-fed, well-dressed world - the frigid whitewashed wall of cleanliness. ...

And what did I get for it? A crushed spirit, a broken heart, a stinging sense of poverty that I never felt before.
