Chameleon Quote by Jarod Kintz

“Money is a chameleon. It can transform itself into any representation. Sometimes money looks like a pile of cheeseburgers, and other times it looks like a used car, but in both cases it's still money presented as an equal of something not like itself at all.” quote by Jarod Kintz
