“‘This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Slander those who tell it ye! Admit it for your false purposes, and make it worse! And await the end!’ ‘Have they no refuge or resource?’ cried Scrooge. And the spirit turned his words on him. ‘Are there no workhouses? Are there no prisons?'”
Charles Dickens
