Money to me had always been merely something the sheep used to show each other how wonderful they were.

About This Quote

When I was young I did not have any money. I had to work for it just to survive. And even then, I was not very happy with it. I always thought of it as an actual cow, someone had put it on me just to show me how beautiful and strong I was.

When I got older and finally came into some money, it became a way to show off and prove that I was different from other people. Money became a toy that people used for fun purposes, sometimes to give or receive gifts or, in some cases, even for purchases.
