Poverty & Pricelessness

"I condemn poverty and I advocate it.  Anything you do not need belongs to the poor. . .  Once we begin not to worry about what kind of house we are living in, what kind of clothes we are wearing, once we give up the stupid recreation of the world, we have time which is priceless--to remember that we are all our brothers' and sisters' keepers and that we must not only care for their needs as far as we are immediately able, but we must try to build a better world."

--Dorothy Day, Loaves and Fishes
