“The most prominent middle-class groups were not directly involved in relations of production with the manual working class, but were engaged in the professions, wholesale and retail distribution, commerce and finance. The industrial structure was itself heterogeneous, with a considerable amount of smaller-scale labour-intensive industry and a consequent diffusion of ownership.”
Robert Q. Gray, The Labour Aristocracy in Victorian Edinburgh

Irvine Welsh
“We may feel more sorry for the sad, self-loathing alcoholic than the bombastic one who thinks the whole world is out of step bar him, but by and large they're the same creature.”
Irvine Welsh, The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs
