Pride in Cockbill Street - Terry Pratchett

This quote was added by hopscat
Women in those days had elbows that moved like pistons. And it was all about survival, and survival was all about pride. You didn't have much control over your life, but by Jimmy you could keep it clean and show the world you were poor but respectable. That was dread: the dread of falling back, losing standards, becoming no better than those people who bred and fought and stole in that ferocious turmoil of a rookery known as the Shades.
