The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.
—Richard Bach
What does a man need—really need? A few pounds of food each day, heat and shelter, six feet to lie down in, and some form of working activity that will yield a sense of accomplishment. That's all—in the material sense. And we know it. But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, and preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention from the sheer idiocy of the charade.
—Sterling Hayden
There's always somebody who is paid too much, and taxed too little—and it's always somebody else.
—Cullen Hightower
