Money Quote by Karen Joy Fowler
““So many problems, however infinitely varied they first appear, turn out to be matters of money. I can't tell you how much this offends me. The value of money is a scam perpetrated by those who have it over those who don't; it's the Emperors's New Clothes gone global.””
