Commonplace Book

 '"Efficiency is the gravest menace that the war holds over us," said O'Rane reflectively. "Whenever I've met it, it means being unkind一with Government sanction一to someone weaker than yourself; Jesus Christ would not have been tolerated by the Charity Organization Society, all the bourgeois press would have said that He was pampering the incompetent and maintaining the survival of the unfit. Efficiency frightens me."'

from Sonia Married by Stephen McKenna (Chapter Two, Part II)
