But if you pile it up in one place it stinks like hell. Money is flat and meant to be piled up. Money is like a sixth sense, without which you cannot make a complete use of the other five. Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons. Money can't buy friends, but it buys a better class of enemy.
Money is a singular thing.
It ranks with love as man's greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety. Money is good for bribing yourself through the inconveniences of life. Money differs from an automobile or mistress in being equally important to those who have it and those who do not. Money, it turned out, was exactly like sex, you thought of nothing else if you didn't have it and thought of other things if you did.
