"If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals."

J.K. Rowling

Interesting quote @samuelfisher and the woman does have a lot of talent but....

Inferiors? What the fuck does she mean by that, eh?

Being a better, more successful writer than pretty much everyone on the planet hardly makes her superior to everyone else. Or even anyone else for that matter. At least, not in my eyes.

I can't believe she used that expression.

@zool237 Obviously, I cannot say for certain. However, I interpreted this as meaning that a man (or woman) who treats somebody who is on a "lower" level (whether that be class & income, race, or whatever society deems these levels as) the same or better as they would anybody else is an honorable person. In other words, you can see who somebody truly is when you observe them interacting with others who, for whatever reason, are worse off. Of course, humans are all equal, and hopefully that is what Rowling thinks as well.
