Summary

This quote reflects a cynical perspective on poverty, suggesting that it has a unique quality of "sticking" to a person when they are abandoned by their friends. It implies that poverty can be a constant companion, potentially pointing to the notion that poverty can be a defining factor in a person's life, even when others have turned their backs on them. However, it is important to note that this interpretation may not align with the commonly held view that poverty is a difficult and undesirable situation.
