The first panacea for a misguided nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists. – Ernest Hemingway
If I do a poetry reading I want people to walk out and say they feel better for having been there – not because youve done a comedy performance but because youre talking about your father dying or having young children, things that touch your soul. – Roger McGough
