People who get trapped in the tunnel vision of making money think that is all there is to life. – Felix Dennis
A constant stream of ‘free’ money is a perfect way to keep an inefficient or simply bad government in power.

Well, I was getting a lot of money then, and I wasn’t getting any Hollywood films, so I just did those. I’d always do a play in between. Whenever I ran low on funds, I’d always rush off to do a movie somewhere. – Eli Wallach
In my first book, ‘Ghosts Of Manhattan,’ the setting was Wall Street, and I explored the predictable nature of a bond trader inside the compensation scheme at Bear Stearns and the government regulations of Wall Street. That was about money. – Douglas Brunt
I traveled with my mother, Lela, and there was never enough money. I always had to roll down my silk stockings and carry a doll when we bought train tickets so I could go half-fare. If we had $3, we always figured how to tip for the trunks and still eat. – Ginger Rogers
Scientists are being portrayed by much of the power structure in politics and business as having a vested interest – that they’re just out to get more grant money by exaggerating the threats. – David Suzuki
If you pay a child a dollar to read a book, as some schools have tried, you not only create an expectation that reading makes you money, you also run the risk of depriving the child for ever of the value of it. Markets are not innocent. – Michael Sandel

People spend time worrying about things they think they have to have and lose perception of what they do have. You can have all the money and material things you want. If you aren’t here to enjoy them, what good do they do? – Eric Davis
This is a choice, ladies and gentleman, between Texas and Washington. Most of Ted Cruz’s money comes from Washington, from outside the state of Texas, and they’ve run millions and millions of untrue ads against me. – David Dewhurst

Facebook has never been merely a social platform. Rather, it exploits our social interactions the way a Tupperware party does. Facebook does not exist to help us make friends, but to turn our network of connections, brand preferences and activities over time – our ‘social graphs’ – into money for others. – Douglas Rushkoff
When you act, you really have to give all of yourself, and if you’re doing that purely for money, it’s not healthy. – Emily Browning
