Teacher: We are collecting this money for you and your kind, Richard Gregory. If your daddy can give fifteen dollars you have no business being on relief.
Richard: There was shame in going to the Worthy Boys Annual Christmas Dinner for you and your kind because everybody knew what a worthy boy was. Why couldn't they just call it the Boys Annual Dinner-why'd they have to give it a name?

The teacher thought I was stupid. Couldn't spell, couldn't​ read, couldn't do arithmetic. Just stupid. Teachers were never interested in finding out that you couldn't concentrate because you were so hungry, because you hadn't had any breakfast
