• Money is meant not for hoarding, but for using; the aim of life should be to use it in the right way - to spend as much as we can lawfully spend, both upon ourselves and others.

• The truth was that I'd been spending years running away from myself. I hid myself in drama, silliness, stupidity, banality. So afraid to grow up.

I bored myself with all the when I grow up nonsense, but I was worried it would never happen even as I longed for it.
