Quote #10
The supermarket was so crowded with people that to Morris, as he peered half-scared through the window, it looked like a department store. He felt a pang, thinking that part of this might now be his if he had taken care of what he had once owned. He would not envy Charlie Sobeloff his dishonest wealth, but when he thought of what he could do for Helen with a little money his regret depended that he had nothing. (8.5.15)
Maybe Morris could have been a contender, but he would have had to violate his deepest principles to do it. That he couldn't do.
