Halaman 254 - It has been said that masters and men are equal! Cant! There can only be one master in a house! Where two men meet the better man will rule. It has been said that Capital and Labour have the same interests. Cant! Their interests are as wide asunder as the poles. It has been said that the Board is only part of a machine. Cant! We are the machine; its brains and sinews; it is for us to lead and to determine what is to be done, and to do it without fear or favour.
Halaman 216 - MADGE. I hear! Go, and kill your own mother, if you must. [Rous seizes her by both her arms. She stands rigid, with her head bent back. He releases her, and he too stands motionless] Rous. I swore to stand by Roberts. I swore that! Ye want me to go back on what I've sworn.
Halaman 228 - Mr. Simon Harness. We have not much to thank Mr. Harness and the Union for. They said to us "Desert your mates, or we'll desert you. " An' they did desert us. EVANS. They did. ROBERTS. Mr. Simon Harness is a clever man, but he has come too late. [With intense conviction.] For all that Mr. Simon Harness says, for all that Thomas, Rous, for all that any man present here can say — We've won the fight!
Halaman 207 - Roberts says workin' folk have always lived from hand to mouth. Sixpence today is worth more than a shillin' tomorrow, that's what they say. ENID. But that's the spirit of gambling. MRS. ROBERTS [with a sort of excitement]. Roberts says a working man's life is all a gamble, from the time 'e 's born to the time 'e dies.
Halaman 254 - There is only one way of treating "men" — with the iron hand. This half and half business, the half and half manners of this generation, has brought all this upon us. Sentiment and softness, and what this young man, no doubt, would call his social policy. You can't eat cake and have it! This middle-class sentiment, or socialism, or whatever it may be, is rotten. Masters are masters, men are men! Yield one demand, and they will make it six. They are [he smiles grimly] like Oliver Twist, asking for...
Halaman 187 - That's right, sir. We have another God down here; I doubt He is rather different to Mr. Wilder's. Ask Henry Thomas; he will tell you whether his God and Mr. Wilder's are the same. [THOMAS lifts his hand, and cranes his head as though to prophesy.] WANKLIN. For goodness' sake, let 's keep to the point, Roberts.
Halaman 186 - Justice from London ? What are you talking about, Henry Thomas ? Have you gone silly ? [THOMAS is silent.] We know very well what we are — discontented dogs — never satisfied. What did the Chairman tell me up in London ? That I didn't know what I was talking about. I was a foolish, uneducated man, that knew nothing of the wants of the men I spoke for.
Halaman 231 - ... whisper], less than the very dogs. [An utter stillness, and ROBERTS stands rocking his body slightly, with his eyes burning the faces of the crowd.] EVANS and JAGO. [Suddenly.] Roberts! [The shout is taken up.] [There is a slight movement in the crowd, and MADGE passing below the towingpath, stops by the platform, looking up at ROBERTS. A sudden doubting silence.] ROBERTS. "Nature," says that old man, "give in to Nature. " I tell you, strike your blow in Nature's face — an
Halaman 194 - What d'you imagine stands between you and your class and these men that you're so sorry for ? ENID [coldly]. I don't know what you mean, Father. ANTHONY. In a few years you and your children would be down in the condition they're in, but for those who have the eyes to see things as they are and the backbone to stand up for themselves. ENID. You- don't know the state the men are in. ANTHONY. I know it well enough. ENID. You don't, Father; if you did, you wouldn't ANTHONY.
Halaman 192 - WANKLIN (in a low voice). Do you really mean to fight to a finish, Chairman? (ANTHONY nods.) WANKLIN. Take care! The essence of things is to know when to stop. (ANTHONY does not answer.) WANKLIN (very gravely). This way disaster lies. The ancient Trojans were fools to your father, Mrs. Underwood. (He goes out through the double doors.) ENID.
