"The superfluities of the rich are the necessities of the poor. Those who retain what is superfluous possess the goods of others.”
"Now we can see how ridiculous it is to define violence in physical terms alone. For a man killed by a bullet is no less dead than a man who has died from a disease resulting from eradicable poverty.
When you stop to think of it, poverty is no longer inevitable; therefore it is intolerable.
It is no more a private tragedy;
it is now a public crime."
William Sloane Coffin
