From March 2019.
The McChoakumchild school was all fact, and the school of design was all fact, and the relations between master and man were all fact, and everything was fact between the lying-in hospital and the cemetery, and what you couldn't state in figures, or show to be purchasable in the cheapest market and salable in the dearest, was not, and never should be, would without end, Amen.
Charles Dickens, Hard Times (1854)
I'm ashamed to say, I don't think I've ever read Hard Times before. I LOLed on an aeroplane when I came across Mr. McChoakumchild the other day.
