“Among other possibilities, money was invented to make it possible for a foolish man to control wise men; a weak man, strong men; a child, old men; an ignorant man, knowledgeable men; and for a dwarf to control giants.”

“Even a trillion dollars is made up of cents.”

“Even the wealthiest man in the world can’t buy love, so it’d be foolish to call him “wealthy” in the first place, for love is the only thing that can make him so.”

“It’s so torturously true that wealthy does rhyme with healthy and yet poor does not mean to pour! If by showing off you look more like a dumb, being smart doesn’t bring any luck if you are about to become a boasting bastard Try to strangle a stolen stone in the middle of a world so wrong or perpetrate a pearly trait in no more than a perishing fate and all your brightness goes down the drain.”

“Some people are way less tortured by poverty than some are tormented by wealth.”

“When you optimize your talents very well, you can pick money from people’s pockets and nobody will ever get the guts to call you a thief.”

The weight of corruption then becomes so heavy that it creates a dent that forces the world to become slanted, so much so — that justice just slips off.”

“The world is a goddamned evil place, the strong prey on the weak, the rich on the poor; I’ve given up hope that there is a God that will save us all. How am I supposed to believe that there’s a heaven and a hell when all I see now is hell.”
