Love, it turns out, is as undemocratic as money, so it accumulates around people who have plenty of it already:  the sane, the healthy, the lovable.

The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we’ll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you.  But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on.

I don’t want anyone writing in to point out that I spend too much money on books, many of which I will never read.  I know that already.  I certainly intend to read all of them, more or less.  My intentions are good.  Anyway, it’s my money.  And I’ll bet you do it too.

The only way to get love is to be lovable.  It’s very irritating if you have a lot of money.  You’d like to think you could write a check:  ‘I’ll buy a million dollars’ worth of love.’  But it doesn’t work that way.  The more you give love away, the more you get.

Bloody Well Right

Favorite Line(s):
So you think your schooling is phony
I guess it’s hard not to agree
You say, “It all depends on money
And who is in your family tree”
Right (right), you’re bloody well right
You got a bloody right to say
Right, you’re bloody well right
You know, you got a right to say

The bread which you do not use is the bread of the hungry; the garment hanging in your wardrobe is the garment of him who is naked; the shoes that you do not wear are the shoes of the one who is barefoot; the money that you keep locked away is the money of the poor; the acts of charity that you do not perform are so many injustices that you commit.
