“Poverty and loneliness could be seen as a liberation from strivings to become rich and popular.”

“Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is richness of self.”

“You will never become rich, until you hate poverty”

“How is it that some celebrities, whom the average person would believe to have all the popularity a human being could want, still admit to feeling lonely? It is quite naive to assume that popularity is the remedy for loneliness. Loneliness does not necessarily equal physical solitude, it is the inability to be oneself and rightfully represented as oneself.”

“It is the story of society's purchase of a slave. A slave purchased from poverty, hunger, cold, loneliness, defenselessness, destitution. A squalid bargain: human soul for a hunk of bread. Poverty offers and society accepts.”

“I wish I could make him understand that a loving good heart is riches enough, and that without it intellect is poverty.”
