Every man carries with him through life a mirror, as unique and impossible to get rid of as his shadow.
W. H. AudenIf the most significant characteristic of man is the complex of biological needs he shares with all members of his species, then the best lives for the writer to observe are those in which the role of natural necessity is clearest, namely, the lives of the very poor.
W. H. AudenTo save your world you asked this man to die; would this man, could he see you now, ask why?
W. H. Auden
