“The amount of time it takes to provide is threefold for families whom have to make due with very little.”

— Manuel Rivera-Ortiz

Buffalo Rising interview (2007)
Context: The amount of time it takes to provide is threefold for families whom have to make due with very little. … Children from poor households learn to have very low expectations of themselves and their future because they believe that the world around them doesn't expect much from them either. In India, children of the lower castes are taught still today that once poor always poor so they don't think to become doctors or lawyers because their last name may not be Gupta or whatever other typically higher caste name there may be in India.
