"This is of course, no reflection on you. Every man to his trade. Only you stick to your trade, and I’ll stick to mine. You have specialised. When it comes to a knowledge of the law, of how best to evade the law or make new law for the benefit of thieving corporations, I am down in the dirt at your feet. But when it comes to sociology, my trade, you are down in the dirt at my feet. Remember that. Remember, also, that your law is the stuff of a day, and that you are not versatile in the stuff of more than a day. Therefore your dogmatic assertions and rash generalisations on things more historical and sociological are not worth the breath you waste on them."
— Ernest Everhard in Jack London’s The Iron Heel
