Poverty Quotes
Charlotte Brontë
Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you, - and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you!
1955 George Eliot

that named ghosts,
nothing you could touch.
