Quotes by Avram Alpert (?)

“He (sociologist Michael Young) speaks of equal opportunity not as offering the possibility to rise up in the social scale, but rather the chance to subvert the scale entirely: "equal opportunity for all people, irrespective of their 'intelligence', to develop the virtues and talents with which they are endowed, all their capacities for appreciating the beauty and depth of human experience, all their potential for living to the full.”
― Avram Alpert, The Good-Enough Life
