More From P. J. O'Rourke

Let us look at wealth and poverty. the affluent society and the deprived society inter-are. the wealth of one society is made of the poverty of the other. "this is like this, because that is like that." wealth is made of non-wealth elements, and poverty is made by non-poverty elements. [...] so we must be careful not to imprison ourselves in concepts. the truth is that everything contains everything else. we cannot just be, we can only inter-be. we are responsible fo everything that happens around us.

I need a good book i need a good story. i need a good book. the kind that explodes off the shelf. i need some good writing, alive and exciting, to contemplate all by myself. i need a good novel, i need a good read. i probably need two or three. i need a good tale of love and betrayal or perhaps an adventure at sea. i need a good saga. i need a good yarn. a momentous and mightily or slight one. but with thousands and thousands and thousands of books, i need someone to tell me the right one. -john lithgow

It is true that so far as wealth gives time for ideal ends and exercise to ideal energies, wealth is better than poverty and ought to be chosen. but wealth does this in only a portion of the actual cases. elsewhere the desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption. there must be thousands of conjunctures in which a wealth-bound man must be a slave, whilst a man for whom poverty has no terrors becomes a freeman.

If i have one message to give to the secular american people, it's that the world is not divided into countries. the world is not divided between east and west. you are american, i am iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. the difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. and the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. and our governments are very much the same.

If exclusive privileges were not granted, and if the financial system would not tend to concentrate wealth, there would be few great fortunes and no quick wealth. when the means of growing rich is divided between a greater number of citizens, wealth will also be more evenly distributed; extreme poverty and extreme wealth would be also rare.

Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can in years. perhaps you will say a man is not young; i answer he is rich. he is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humored, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich -that one word contradicts everything you can say against him.

Similar Quotes

Divorce can be crazy. man, if you're happy... love is a beast, man. hold on. be prepared for any way it may go, and be honest.

And when love speaks, the voice of all the gods makes heaven drowsy with the harmony.

Love is forgiving and love is for giving.

It is weird. people will say, "oh my god, i love you." and i'll say, "oh, that's so sweet. thank you." and the people who are walking around with me for the first time will say, "i don't understand what happened. somebody just told you they love you. i don't even understand what that means."
