Poorly Quotes (page 19)

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "The rich want good wine, the poor, plenty of wine"
The rich want good wine, the poor, plenty of wine Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Plutarch quote: "The poor go to war, to fight and die for the delights, riches,..."
The poor go to war, to fight and die for the delights, riches, and superfluities of others. Plutarch
Then she would wander through fields, over simple, poor land, looking carefully and keenly all round her, still getting used to being alive in the world, and feeling glad that everything in it was right for her? for her body, her heart, and her freedom. Andrei Platonov
He’s like a hero come back from the war, a poor maimed bastard living out the reality of his dreams. Wherever he sits himself the chair collapses; whatever door he enters the room is empty: whatever he puts in his mouth leaves a bad taste. Everything is just the same as it was before; the elements are unchanged, the dream is no different than the reality. Only, between the time he went to sleep and the time he woke up, his body was stolen. Henry Miller
God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house. God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives. God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war. God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them. Bono
A commitment to sexual equality with men is a commitment to becoming the rich instead of the poor, the rapist instead of the raped, the murderer instead of the murdered. Andrea Dworkin
Rumi quote: "silence is the language of god, all else is poor translation."
silence is the language of god, all else is poor translation. Rumi
I thought I had been a suffragist before I became a Poor Law Guardian, but now I began to think about the vote in women's hands not only as a right but as a desperate necessity. Emmeline Pankhurst
William Butler Yeats quote: "But I being poor have only my dreams. I have laid my dreams..."
But I being poor have only my dreams. I have laid my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. William Butler Yeats
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man..."
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. Gilbert K. Chesterton
The anger of the weak never goes away, Professor, it just gets a little moldy. It molds like a beautiful blue cheese in the dark, growing stronger, and more interesting. The poor and the weak die with all their anger intact and probably those angers go on growing in the dark of the grave like the hair and the nails. Marge Piercy
They stared at her curiously, and she caught snatches of conversation in two ot three languages. It wasn't hard to guess their content, and she smiled a bit frimly. Youth, it appeared, was full of illusions as to how much sexual energy two people might have to spare while hiking forty or so kilometers a day, concussed, stunned, diseased, on poor food and little sleep, alternating caring for a wounded man with avoiding becoming dinner for every carnivore within range - and with a coup to plan... Lois McMaster Bujold
Oh! I killed Bunbury this afternoon... I mean poor Bunbury died this afternoon. What did he die of? Bunbury? Oh, he was exploded! Oscar Wilde
David Eddings quote: "Impatience is a poor substitute for a well-considered plan."
Impatience is a poor substitute for a well-considered plan. David Eddings
I know that when a supersexy older girl with hips and breasts and nice hair wants to take off your glasses and to paint you a smoky eye she's merely trying to enroll you in a beauty contest she's already won. It's a kind of slummy, condescending gesture, like when rich people ask poor people where they summer. To me, this smacks of a blatant, insensitive "let them eat cake" type of chauvinism. Chuck Palahniuk
