“The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say. Most of the writing today which is called fiction contains such a poverty of language, such triteness, that it is a shrunken, diminished world we enter, poorer and more formless than the poorest cripple deprived of ears and eyes and tongue. The writer's responsibility is to increase, develop our senses, expand our vision, heighten our awareness and enrich our articulateness.” WorldWritingEyeTodayLanguageFictionResponsibilityVisionPovertyRolesAwarenessEarsIncreaseTongueSensesDeprivedPoorestCripples Author:Anais Nin

“Let us look at wealth and poverty. The affluent society and the deprived society inter-are. The wealth of one society is made of the poverty of the other. "This is like this, because that is like that." Wealth is made of non-wealth elements, and poverty is made by non-poverty elements. [...] so we must be careful not to imprison ourselves in concepts. The truth is that everything contains everything else. We cannot just be, we can only inter-be. We are responsible fo everything that happens around us.” LooksMadeHappensWealthPovertyTruth IsElementsConceptsResponsibleCarefulBe CarefulDeprivedAffluentPeace Is Every StepWealth And Poverty Author:Nhat Hanh
“The contempt of riches in philosophers was only a hidden desire to avenge their merit upon the injustice of fortune, by despising the very goods of which fortune had deprived them; it was a secret to guard themselves against the degradation of poverty, it was a back way by which to arrive at that distinction which they could not gain by riches.” WayDesireSecretPovertyGainsFortuneInjusticeVery GoodPhilosopherRichesMeritDistinctionGoodsContemptDeprivedDegradation Author:Francois de La Rochefoucauld
“The bottom half of humanity is living in severe poverty; not all of them are malnourished or severely deprived now, but they are extremely vulnerable to even small upsets in their income or in the prices they face of basic necessities, and when something like this happens, they can be thrown off kilter in terms of a disease of a family member or a change in food prices; anything like that can throw them into destitution.” HappensFacesHumanityTermHalfPovertyMembersDiseaseBottomIncomeVulnerableUpsetThrownSevereDeprivedFamily Members Author:Thomas Pogge

“To be a woman condemned to a wretched and disgraceful punishment is no impediment to beauty, but it is an insurmountable obstacle to power. Like all persons of real genius, her ladyship well knew what accorded with her nature and her means. Poverty disgusted her -subjection deprived her of two-thirds of her greatness. Her ladyship was only a queen amongst queens: the enjoyment of satisfied pride was essential to her sway.
