dime quotes

  • I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy. They told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy, I was deprived. Then they told me underprivileged was overused. I was disadvantaged. I still don't have a dime. But I have a great vocabulary.

    -Jules Feiffer
      Cartoon caption.

  • Brother can you spare a dime?

    - E(dgar) Y(ip) Harburg
       Title of song.
