But he couldn't lie if you paid him and he'd starve before he stole.

You know, the United States Government turns its Chief Executive out to grass. They're just allowed to starve . . . If I hadn't inherited some property that finally paid things through, I'd be on relief now.
Harry S. Truman
Larkin the man is separated from us historically by changes in the self. For his generation, you were what you were and that was that. It made you unswervable and adamantine. My father had this quality. I don't. None of us do. There are too many forces at work, there are too many fronts to cover.
Still, a price has to be paid for not caring what others think of you, and Larkin paid it. He couldn't change the cards he was dealt. What poor hands we hold, when we face each other honestly. His poems insist on this helplessness...Martin Amis
I hope that whoever stole it, stole it because they loved it, and not because of all the hype.
Stella Vine
The most dimwitted attempt at argument we've heard in this mortal world is the supposed retort to any advocate of freedom: 'Do you mean to be free to starve?' We mean, do you think you can’t starve with your hands tied?
Isabel Paterson
I said to my friends that if I was going to starve, I might as well starve where the food is good.
