Oddly enough, The Rise of the Meritocracy wasn't in the public library so I
have to wait 'til it comes down the mountain from the university. I was only
able to find this quotation from the Chelsea Manifesto:
Were we to evaluate people, not only according to their intelligence
and their education, their occupation and their power, but according
to their kindliness and their courage, their imagination and
sensitivity, their sympathy and generosity, there could be no classes.
Who would be able to say that the scientist was superior to the porter
with admirable qualities as a father, the civil servant with unusual
skill at gaining prizes superior to the lorry-driver with unusual
skill at growing roses.
