cheap clothes - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

"At what price are the cheap clothes? Not the dollars and cents, but the human price in mental and physical pain. What of the children brought up by neither parent and without love, for there is no energy to spare for them? Is the small whim of vanity all it takes to buy our souls, our collective morality? Think not that they suffer, but wear the pretty clothes, they are so very, very cheap."
