Nietzsche declared

(when he asked for his supper)

That: 'I am famished 

and that is a fact.''

His landlady retorted:

''Until the rent's sorted,

you'll have to make do

with an interpretation

or two

or you-

can get yourself packed!''

Tommy, inside your first quotation marks, it will read more accurately if you make the tense present:"I am famished/and that is a fact." It balances the landlady's direct words. Also, IMO, this usage strengthens the humour.
