> Poverty is not a sin - that’s a true saying. Yet I know too that drunkenness is not a virtue, and that that’s even truer saying. But destitution, dear sir, destitution - that is a sin. When a man is poor he may still preserve the nobility of his inborn feelings, but when he's destitute he never ever can. For destitution a man is not chased out of human society with a stick, he is swept out with a broom, so as to make it as humiliating as possible; and quite right, for I will admit that when I'm destitute I'm the first to humiliate myself.
