“To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money, money, money everywhere and still not enough, and then no money or a little money or less money or more money, but money, always money, and if you have money or you don’t have money it is the money that counts and money makes money, but what makes money make money?”
— Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer, 1939
(also used in the treatise entitled “Money and How It Gets That Way” in response to a question posed by Ezra Pound. The question was pondered heavily by Miller, then written in Paris on November 1, 1936).
