Humanity Quote by Sean Wilsey
““We have elevated money to the level of humanity. But money and humanity are enemies. Enemies who feed off, lie to, and use each other. There can be no freedom in this situation. Only fear. By elevating money you give it a vote. So what does money think is the ideal global condition? And what does humanity think is the idea financial one? The disastrous answer to both of these questions is: more.””

![“That's why she felt entitled to be filthy rich. It explains and excuses a lot. She didn't want money because money was power; she wanted it because she'd been poor, and money cures poverty. [...] But beauty is like money from God. And Mom has always been beautiful.” quote by Sean Wilsey](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/bc5/sean-wilsey-39420_beauty_that-s-why-she-felt-entitled-to-be-filth_2397545.jpg)
