Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one.

Peculiarly combined (Ozick)

In every dossier he saw stupidity; in their faces stupidity was peculiarly combined with vivacity. What they were in reality was a species of low theater folk, vaudevillians, and in addition to this strain of the histrionic they harbored an inclination to dominate and to crush.
Cynthia Ozick, The Cannibal Galaxy
