Quote by Charlie Jane Anders

“Everyone deserves a place to live--including low-income people and the unhoused. Poverty shouldn't be a crime. I'm tired of watching people of color and queers be driven away from the places they helped to build. We need to change who we think of as a stakeholder.”

“Нищета заставляет человека заботиться о выживании, думать не о перспективах, а о том, что он будет есть завтра. В таком ритме жизни сложно заставить себя получать образование, тем не менее потребность в эмоциях и чувствах остается, но она не находит себе выхода и отползает в чулан сознания. Часто это приводит к эмоциональному уплощению на фоне нищеты и монотонности жизни, но бывает и иначе. Иногда эти потребности настолько не реализованы и закинуты в такой дальний угол, что трансформируются в нечто поистине уродливое. В 27 лет Александр осознал, что дальше его жизнь будет скользить по наклонной и ничего лучшего его впереди не ждет.”

“In Iran, when a guest comes, you tell them they may be angels, they are welcome and the whole house is filled with the joy of their presence. And the person always apologizing is the host, that they might have more to offer. But here, it seems guests are supposed to apologize all the time that they're taking anything. It's like they think the host is burdened. I don't understand it. But I know I never want to go to the house of any of these grown-ups, who make you beg for so little. I don't want the cracker sandwiches they made with all the groaning in their hearts. I don't want to be poor. But if I can't have that, then I don't want them to know how hungry I am.”

“Washington hides its poverty better than any city in the world. Just blocks from the mall and Capitol Hill, where thousands of tourists mill about each day, people cover their windows with towels to keep out the rain, and nail boards across their doors when they lock up at night. Though my sister lived up above Adams-Morgan, she practiced in Southeast, "where the people lived." She was tougher than I could ever be.”
