  1. A quotation from Alan Watts

    When we finally got down to something, which the individual says he really wants to do, I will say to him, you do that and forget the money, because, if you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time. You’ll be doing things you don’t like doing in order to go on living, that is to go on doing things you don’t like doing — which is stupid!

    Alan Watts (1915–1973) Anglo-American philosopher, writer
    Lecture (1969 ca.), “What If Money Was No Object?”
