Terry Prachett quote: "If you had enough money, you could hardly commit crimes at..."
If you had enough money, you could hardly commit crimes at all. You just perpetrated amusing little peccadilloes. Terry Prachett
There ain't no clean way to make a hundred million bucks.... Somewhere along the line guys got pushed to the wall, nice little businesses got the ground cut out from under them... Decent people lost their jobs.... Big money is big power and big power gets used wrong. It's the system. Raymond Chandler
We breathe, sleep, drink, eat, work and then die! The end of life is death. What do you long for? Love? A few kisses and you will be powerless. Money? What for? To gratify your desires. Glory? What coems after it all? Death! Death alone is certain. Guy de Maupassant
