“Millions are given each year to charities which help crippled children, old people, blind people, and all kinds of disabled unfortunates, which is a perfectly worthy cause. But, on the other hand, has anyone given much thought to the crying, desparate need of helping the exact opposite type of human beings - the able, the fit, the talented and unusual ones crushed purely by material circumstances? The idea of hardships being good for character and of a talent always being able to break through is an old fallacy... A talented person has to eat as much as a misfit. A talented person needs sympathy,understanding and intelligent guidance more than a misfit. And the question arises: who is more worthy of help - the subnormal or the above normal? Who is more valuable to humanity? Which of the two types is more valuable to himself? Which of the two suffers more acutely: the misfit, who doens't know what he is missing, or the talented one who knows it only too well. ”
