Poor Countries

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or countries:

“... nothing seems completely to differentiate the poor but poverty. We find no adjectives to fit them, as a whole, only those of which Want is the mother. “Miserable” covers many; “shabby” most, and I am sadly aware that, in a large majority of minds, “disagreeable” includes them all.”
—Albion Fellows Bacon (1865–1933)

“Writing fiction has become a priestly business in countries that have lost their faith.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
