Tending Towards Accuracy

I think anybody who is impoverished in any way, either physically or psychically, tends to want to build rather than destroy.

David Wojnarowicz
p. 164
Contemporary Art and Multicultural Education

[Incidently the volume presents a misspelling of the artist’s name in the table of contents:
David Wolnarowicz]

I have seen this misquoted:

I think anybody who is impoverished in any way, either physically or psychically, wants to build rather than destroy.

That “tends” is vital to the self-determination

And so for day 2458
