We should refuse to tolerate poverty as a social institution not because the poor are the salt of the earth, but because 'the poor in a lump are bad'. - George Bernard Shaw

Cuando muera, quiero estar completamente agotado. Pues cuanto más duramente trabajo, más vivo. Gozo de la vida por la vida misma. Para mí la vida no es una pequeña vela. Es una especie de antorcha espléndida que por el momento sostengo, con fuerza, y quiero que arda con el mayor brillo posible antes de entregarla a las futuras generaciones.

If you're going to tell people the truth, you better make them laugh; otherwise they'll kill you.
