Examples

  • Where marriage in the Western manner was prescribed as creating order, people ignored the fact that it was a privilege: unattainable, inachievable for those who worked the land, the people called farmhands and milkmaids, who simply didn't have the money even to buy a pair of sheets, and if they had saved up or stolen the money, wouldn't have had the bed to put the sheets on.

    Heinrich Böll - Nobel Lecture 1972
