There is no such thing as the State And no one exists alone… - W. H. Auden

" "
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.

Additional quotes by W. H. Auden

Those to whom evil is done,
do evil in return

The friends who met here and embraced are gone,
Each to his own mistake;

We have no destiny assigned us:
Nothing is certain but the body; we plan
To better ourselves; the hospitals alone remind us
Of the equality of man.

There is no such thing as the State And no one exists alone; Hunger allows no choice To the citizen or the police; We must love one another or die. - W. H. Auden
