Fall of the Phantom Lord Quotes

“Until recently, I never realized to what degree the middle class is a moral, rather than an economic, entity, based less on status than on possessive, life-sustaining love. The moral middle class plays life by percentages, because that is the safest bet, and percentage play—in life as in tennis—is by definition conservative.”
― Andrew Todhunter, Fall of the Phantom Lord: Climbing and the Face of Fear
