Paul Eluard sitat

I ask you, what am I? Im one of the undeserving poor: thats what I am. Think of what that means to a man. It means that hes up agen middle class morality all the time. If theres anything going, and I put in for a bit of it, its always the same story: "Youre undeserving; so you cant have it." But my needs is as great as the most deserving widows that ever got money out of six different charities in one week for the death of the same husband. I dont need less than a deserving man: I need more. I dont eat less hearty than him; and I drink a lot more. I want a bit of amusement, cause Im a thinking man. I want cheerfulness and a song and a band when I feel low. Well, they charge me just the same for everything as they charge the deserving. What is middle class morality? Just an excuse for never giving me anything. Therefore, I ask you, as two gentlemen, not to play that game on me. Im playing straight with you. I aint pretending to be deserving. Im undeserving; and I mean to go on being undeserving. I like it; and thats the truth.
