“Money will not purchase happiness for the man who has no concept of what he wants: money will not give him a code of values, if he’s evaded the knowledge of what to value, and it will not provide him with a purpose, if he’s evaded the choice of what to seek. Money will not buy intelligence for the fool, or admiration for the coward, or respect for the incompetent. The man who attempts to purchase the brains of his superiors to serve him, with his money replacing his judgment, ends up by becoming the victim of his inferiors.”
― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

“There is no worse suffering than to love with fear,”
― Isabel Allende, Island Beneath the Sea

“One realizes that he is born of this country where everything is given to be taken away.”
― Albert Camus, Summer in Algiers

“The loves we share with a city are often secret loves.”
― Albert Camus, Summer in Algiers
