“In every society, the rich are the scum of the earth.”
“Society is like a stew. If you don't stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top.”
“Scum of the Earth as some may be in their daily lives, they can all be saints in emergencies.”
“You're scum, Morelli! You're scum!”
“You know what I wish? I wish all the scum of the Earth had one throat and I had my hands about it.”
“The Earth is deep, and right to the heart it's alive. We people only live on the top, like the bugs that live on the scum of the still water near the shore.”
