They Walked Like Men Quotes

“Money here on Earth is more than the paper or the metal that you use for money, more than the rows of figures that account for money. Here on Earth you have given money a symbolism such as no medium of exchange has anywhere else I have ever known or heard of. You have made it a power and a virtue and you have made the lack of it despicable and somehow even criminal. You measure men by money and you calibrate success with money and you almost worship money.”
― Clifford D. Simak, They Walked Like Men

“Some guys are like that. If lightning hits a tree in a thousand-acre forest, they’ll be standing underneath it.”
