Deep Thoughts

"The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as
poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of
priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. Consequently,
the modern poor are not pitied - but written off as trash. The
twentieth-century consumer economy has produced the first culture for
which a beggar is a reminder of nothing."
- John Berger (1926~) English
Painter, Teacher, Art Critic

"You can tell the man who rings true from the man who rings false, not
by his deeds alone, but also his desires."
- Democritus (460-370BC)
Presocratic Greek Philosopher
