“‘I’ll be all aroun’ in the dark. I’ll be ever’where––wherever you look. Wherever they’s a fight so hungry people can eat, I’ll be there. Wherever they’s a cop beatin’ up a guy, I’ll be there. If Casy knowed, why, I’ll be the way guys yell when they’re mad an’––I’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry an’ they know supper’s ready. An’ when folks eat stuff they raise an’ live in the houses they build––why, I’ll be there.’”   

––The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck, pg. 419
