"Today, the idea of ability has become a wholly different phenomenon. Excellence in the object is only a means to measuring excellence in the person. The demonstration of worth now has become a demonstration about inner capacity in the man greater than his tangible works, about a virtue which permits him to transcend situation after situation, mastering each but attached and identified with none."
--pg. 245 of The Hidden Injuries of Class by Cobb and Sennett
