The young rich man has a hundred brilliant and unrefined distractions, horse racing, hunting, tobacco, cards, nice lunches and all that; occupations for the lower part of the soul and procure damage to the delicate and higher part. The young pauper fights to get his bread; he eats and once eaten he has nothing but meditation.
from the book "" by Victor Hugo
