    They who in folly or mere greed

    They who in folly or mere greed
    Enslaved religion, markets, laws,
    Borrow our language now and bid
    Us to speak up in freedom’s cause.
    Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

    Is money money or isn’t money money. Everybody who earns
    it and spends it every day in order to live knows
    that money is money, anybody who votes it to be
    gathered in as taxes knows money is not money. That
    is what makes everybody go crazy.... When you earn
    money and spend money every day anybody can know the
    difference between a million and three. But when you
    vote money away there really is not any difference
    between a million and three.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    Your sins have found you out, and now you must pay the price of all women like you. You have brought a child into this world against the commandment. Prayer is wasted on your sort. You should be cast out into the utter darkness ‘til you have learned your lesson. Michael Lewis do you admit your sin?... Then prepare to suffer your punishment.
    Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
