Money Wisdom #152

"My wages came to me not to satisfy any need... ...but to make my needs universal: to incorporate me into the mainstream of of men and things in which my work was not for me but for everybody; and to take what was special in me, my most secure and precious sense of myself, and make it general and banal. In short, I was to be civilised."

James Buchan Frozen Desire (1997) p.7-8
