The famous quote from John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" about the indescribably crime of food being burned, poisoned, and dumped, with police stopping poor people from being able to pick up the food that must be destroyed, simply because a profit could not be turned as people starve, ending with the quote "And in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath.
