What I'm sure of is that you can't be happy without money. That's all. I don't like superficiality and I don't like romanticism. I like to be conscious. And what I've noticed is that there's a kind of spiritual snobbism in certain 'superior beings' who think that money isn't necessary for happiness.
—Albert Camus
Disconnected responsibility (Dobyns)
How nice to have a system of disconnected responsibility, to blame one otherworldly power for being the cause of a problem and to ask another otherworldly power to fix it.
Stephen Dobyns, from "Nickel"
