George Orwell - Down and out in Paris and London, my alltime absolute favorite book...
- “It is curious how people take it for granted that they have a right to preach at you and pray over you as soon as your income falls below a certain level."
- “Poverty frees poor people from ordinary standards of behaviour, just as money frees people from work.”
-"Dirt is a great respecter of persons; it lets you alone when you are well dressed, but as soon as your collar is gone it flies towards you from all directions.”
