“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
“If often he was wrong and at times absurd,
To us he is no more a person
Now but a whole climate of opinion.”
