"Competition makes honesty impossible. A man would admit it to me without hesitation, but would end: ' There's no other way. Don't be a fool. You can't stand out against a system.'"'I will stand out if it starves me,' I said. ' I will not sell my soul for any man's hire. The time is coming when this rottenness must end. Make one more to fight it now.'
