Kurt Vonnegut·2005True story, Word of Honor: Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer now dead, and I were at a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island. I said, 'Joe, how does it make you feel to know that our host only yesterday may have made more money than your novel Catch-22 has earned in its entire history?' And Joe said, 'I've got something he can never have.' And I said, 'What on earth could that be, Joe?' And Joe said, 'The knowledge that I've got enough.' Not bad!
EpicurusThe wealth required by nature is limited and is easy to procure; but the wealth required by vain ideals extends to infinity. (15)
Miyamoto Musashi·1645Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.
