“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. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being.”
― Karl Marx, Economic & Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844

“A prude is a person who thinks that his own rules of propriety are natural laws.”
― Robert A. Heinlein

“The meat's so tough that it got up off the plate and beat the shit out of the coffee, which was too weak to defend itself.”
