Dan Simmons Quote
Ah, yes, poverty, said Chatterjee and smiled as if the word had deeply ironic connotations. Indeed, there is much poverty here. Much squalor by Western standards. That must offend the American mind, since America has repeatedly dedicated its great will to eliminating poverty. How did your ex-President Johnson put it . . . to declare war on poverty? One would think that his war in Vietnam would have satisfied him. The war on poverty was another war we lost, I said. America continues to have its share of poverty. I set my empty glass down, and a servant appeared at my elbow to pour more scotch.
