regret.”

“When
we see a good-looking woman with a not-so-good-looking man, we assume that the
man must have a good bank balance. When we see a good-looking man with a
not-so-good-looking woman, we assume that she must be good in bed.”

“To
answer your question as honestly as I can, I've wanted since I was very little
to not have to worry about money. I've never been poverty-level poor (I mean,
there's been years where I've been officially beneath the poverty line, but
that wasn't poverty: that was being a student and living the Student
Lifestyle), but I've been in a place where you know you can't afford a
better-quality food, where you can't do certain things because of money, and
I'd prefer not to have those problems if I can. I sort of have troubles with
money in general, with how it determines so much of our lives but with how we
all try to ignore it, but I would like to be (and stay) in a place where I can
pick up some new comics and games and not worry about how much they cost.
This
is terrible; you're asking me where I want to be in the future, what I want my
life to be like, and the only thing I can tell you is "Man, all I know is
I don't want to be POOR.”

“Often
people attempt to live their lives backwards, they try to have more things or
more money in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier.
The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are
then do what you need to do in order to have what you want. ”

Margaret Young
“If
you live for having it all, what you have is never enough.”

Vicki Robin, Your Money or Your Life
“As
humanity perfects itself, man becomes degraded. When everything is reduced to
the mere counter-balancing of economic interests, what room will there be for
virtue? When Nature has been so subjugated that she has lost all her original
forms, where will that leave the plastic arts? And so on. In the mean time,
things are going to get very murky.”

Gustave Flaubert

“The
real power in America is held by a fast-emerging new Oligarchy of pimps and
preachers who see no need for Democracy or fairness or even trees, except maybe
the ones in their own yards, and they don't mind admitting it. They worship
money and power and death. Their ideal solution to all the nation's problems
would be another 100 Year War.”
