“The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt—your capital.

― Karl Marx, Economic & Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844

“Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand.”
