Quote by Jackson Pollock

Bums are the well-to-do of this day. They didn't have as far to fall.


Bums are the well-to-do of this day. They didn't have as far

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who were once affluent but have lost everything and become homeless are in a relatively privileged position compared to those who have always struggled financially. It implies that despite their current circumstances, the homeless people who were once well-off had less distance to "fall" in terms of social status and economic hardship. This may be seen as a commentary on the inherent inequality in society and how the concept of success and wealth is relative.
