life maxim
Just saw this in a friend’s sig line:
The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theater, go dancing, go =
drinking, think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more =
you save and the greater will become that treasure which neither =
moths nor maggots can consume =97 your capital. The less you are, the =
less you give expression to your life, the more you have, the greater =
is your alienated life … So all passions and all activity are =
submerged in greed =96 Karl Marx, notebooks, 1844
