Ghetto children have every quality for noble adulthood, but the Ghetto destroys those qualities
Drawn from what Jack London said
What Jack London actually said
- Jack London American novelist and journalist (1876 to 1916)
The children of the Ghetto possess all the qualities which make for noble manhood and womanhood; but the Ghetto itself, like an infuriated tigress turning on its young, turns upon and destroys all these qualities, blots out the light and laughter, and moulds those it does not kill into sodden and forlorn creatures, uncouth, degraded, and wretched below the beasts of the field.
