My mom was classy.” Leela looked like she had floated somewhere far away. “Oh, she might not have lived on Society Row, but she taught the women who lived there a lot.

That the highest pursuit is the betterment of mankind, not the betterment of your hairstyle or your bank account or your landscaping.
