Excerpt from More Dangerous Thoughts Any preface or literary foreword to Mike Quin's "More Dangerous Thoughts, " or any other book that he chooses to write from now on - unless he changes greatly - can only, from the humanitarian point of view, be, by me, an endorsement of his ideas in toto - a eulogy of himself. For here is a man, and in addition a humanitarian artist, who sees life not from the class but the mass point of view. Affectionately and wisely, he sees the truth as to life's social processes - the rich dominating and, more often than not, ill-treating the poor, the strong, the weak, etc., etc. More, he sees, and with such understanding and intense sympathy, the sufferings of the many as opposed to the swilling and indifferent satisfactions of the few. He understands the common laborer, the ditch digger, the hewer of wood and the drawer of water, and, like the man Christ is supposed to have been, he says, in current American words: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is a just claim to a better social state - a just and equitable one - and that that state is coming.
