Poor France, thy fine climate, rich vineyards, and the wishes of the learned avail nothing; thou art a destitute beggar, and not the powerful friend thou wert represented to me.

Poor Georgia O'Keeffe. Death didn't soften the opinions of the art world toward her paintings.
‐‐ Jerry Saltz
Poor Harper Seven Beckham, having to live with that name all her life. It's the Boy Named Sue syndrome; at the very least it will toughen her up.
‐‐ Simon Hoggart
Poor human reason, when it trusts in itself, substitutes the strangest absurdities for the highest divine concepts.
‐‐ John Chrysostom
Poor is the man who does not know his own intrinsic worth and tends to measure everything by relative value. A man of financial wealth who values himself by his financial net worth is poorer than a poor man who values himself by his intrinsic self worth.
‐‐ Sydney Madwed
Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another.
‐‐ Madonna Ciccone
Poor is the power of the lead that becomes bullets compared to the power of the hot metal that becomes types.
‐‐ Georg Brandes
Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master.
‐‐ Leonardo da Vinci
Poor laborers from all parts of Asia as well as Africa, the Americas and even Europe are transported by plane each day to wealthier nations where low-tier jobs are plentiful; sometimes the travelers board without even knowing their final destination.

Poor men's reasons are not heard.
‐‐ Thomas Fuller
Poor nations are hungry, and rich nations are proud; and pride and hunger will ever be at variance.
‐‐ Jonathan Swift
Poor people and working people have not been the focus of the Obama administration. That for me is not just a disappointment but a kind of betrayal.
‐‐ Cornel West
Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle and always want more and more.
‐‐ Jose Mujica
Poor people cannot rely on the government to come to help you in times of need. You have to get your education. Then nobody can control your destiny.
‐‐ Charles Barkley
Poor people have more fun than rich people, they say; and I notice it's the rich people who keep saying it.
‐‐ Jack Paar
Poor people, people of color - especially are much more likely to be found in prison than in institutions of higher education.
‐‐ Angela Davis
Poor people put a low value on themselves and their efforts.
‐‐ Daymond John
Poor privileged white men. Their stranglehold on power is slowly being loosened.
‐‐ Madeleine M. Kunin
Poor speakers create an artificial divide between themselves and the audience. They feel they need to do this in order to establish their own credibility.
‐‐ James Altucher
Poorer people tend to watch more television because they can't afford other diversions.
‐‐ Ken Auletta
Poorer students take out larger loans and will have to contribute more to the cost of higher education.

Poorly paid labor is inefficient labor, the world over.
‐‐ Henry George
Pop art is the inedible raised to the unspeakable.
‐‐ Leonard Baskin
Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesn't look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.
‐‐ Roy Lichtenstein
Pop belonged to more musical people in earlier times, but we've sort of gotten away from that. Now it's software people. I kind of feel like reclaiming it is in order.
‐‐ Dave Sitek
Pop changes week to week, month to month. But great music is like literature.
‐‐ Ravi Shankar
Pop comes from the word 'popular,' which means that it could be anything that appeals to any group of people. When you talk about general masses, I think there's elements in every kind of music that can reach a broad audience.
‐‐ Anwar Robinson
Pop concerts create an audience for Pops concerts, not an audience for classical symphonic concerts.
‐‐ Sir Mix-a-Lot
Pop culture hales you and wants you to fail.
‐‐ Aisha Tyler
Pop culture is a reflection of social change, not a cause of social change.
‐‐ John Podhoretz
Pop culture is great, but it can be bad, at times.
‐‐ Aisha Tyler
Pop culture is like our subconscious.
‐‐ Hanna Rosin
Pop culture is not about depth. It's about marketing, supply and demand, consumerism.
‐‐ Trevor Dunn
Pop culture, it's crazy. There's all this violence in video games. In 'Call of Duty,' people are literally just blowing other people up. Hey, let's protect your country from your couch while eating your sandwich.
‐‐ Natasha Leggero
Pop culture's gotten much more disposable.
‐‐ Al Yankovic
Pop culture shapes our ideas of what is normal and what our dreams can be and what our roles are. Politics, of course, decides how the power and the money in the country is distributed. Both are equally important, and each affects the other.
‐‐ Gloria Steinem
Pop doesn't really look back. It can't. What makes pop work is simplicity.
‐‐ Branford Marsalis
Pop flies, in a sense, are just a diversion for a second baseman. Grounders are his stock trade.
‐‐ Jackie Robinson
Pop has to exist and it's a great thing.
‐‐ Taylor Momsen
Pop is a little bit theatrical. That's the whole vibe. That's the point - is that it's great music, great melodies, great hooks. But, on top of it, it's a presentation. There's a showmanship about it. And that's why I wanted to be a pop star.
‐‐ Adam Lambert
Pop is actually my least favorite kind of music, because it lacks real depth.
‐‐ Christina Aguilera
Pop is in a shocking state at the moment.
‐‐ Charlie Simpson
Pop is totally results-oriented and there is a very strong feedback loop.
‐‐ Brian Eno
Pop just didn't have enough substance for me. All this nyah-nyah-nyah, you know, 'Paper Tiger' and 'Hold the Ladder, James' and 'Crimson and Clover.' That wasn't music!
‐‐ Gregg Allman
Pop managers are fixed in the dramatic stock character repertoire too, ever since the first British pop film musical, Wolf Mankowitz's 'Expresso Bongo' of 1959, with Cliff Richard as Bongo Herbert and Laurence Harvey as his manager. The key components were cast as X parts gay, X parts Jewish and triple X opportunistic.
‐‐ Peter York
Pop music allows you to be who you are without having to wear a social uniform or to conform, which some people find impossible to do.
‐‐ Siobhan Fahey
Pop music can absorb so many peculiar talents, ranging from the completely nonmusical poseur who just uses music as a kind of springboard for a sense of style, to people who just love putting all that complicated stuff together, brick by brick, on their computers, to people like me who like playing conceptual games and being surprised.
‐‐ Brian Eno
Pop music can get inside us and enter our memory bubbles. It provides those true Proustian moments, unlocking sensations, unlocking our imaginations. Music inspired me as a filmmaker.
‐‐ Todd Haynes
Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away.
