Halldor Laxness Quotes

The Fact Is That It Is Utterly Pointless To Make Anyone A Generous Offer Unless He Is A Rich Man; Rich Men Are The Only People Who Can Accept A Generous Offer. To Be Poor Is Simply The Peculiar Human Condition Of Not Being Able To Take Advantage Of A Generous Offer. The Essence Of Being A Poor Peasant Is The Inability To Avail Oneself Of The Gifts That Politicians Offer To Promise And To Be Left At The Mercy Of Ideals That Only Make Rich Richer And The Poor Poorer.
