Doris Lessing Quotes

The Stinting Poverty In Which They Lived Was Unbearable; It Was Destroying Them. It Did Not Mean That There Was Not Enough To Eat: It Meant That Every Penny Must Be Watched, New Clothes Foregone, Amusements Abandoned, Holidays Kept In The Never-never-land Of The Future. A Poverty That Allows A Tiny Margin For Spending, But Which Is Shadowed Always By A Weight Of Debt That Nags Like A Conscience, Is Worse Than Starvation Itself. That Was How She Had Come To Feel. And It Was Bitter Because It Was A Self Imposed Poverty.
