But I think this quote from Henry Miller is still at the top of my list for quotes about money since 'wordplay' is also involved:<br />To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money, money, money everywhere and still not enough, and then no money or a little money or less money or more money, but money, always money, and if you have money or you don't have money it is the money that counts and money makes money, but what makes money make money?<br />Tropic of Capricorn (1939)<br /><br />BTW - I linked to this blog post of quotes, but you haven't tagged these posts or I would have been able to provide a link to all four posts so far...will you consider tagging this weekly series? Can't wait to see future posts of quotes =-)<br />The Creative Beasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650011991825745500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603897690317712031.post-8881406058198052632014-07-20T01:55:30.359+01:002014-07-20T01:55:30.359+01:00Oh she just wrote the book and for a while lived i...Oh she just wrote the book and for a while lived in Bath nearby - I don't think she set up a blog page - she was quite a dumbo with computers!! :)Eddie Bluelightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069024660422117718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603897690317712031.post-30429723850610092762014-07-20T00:53:28.137+01:002014-07-20T00:53:28.137+01:00By the way, who is this Jane Austin, has she got a...By the way, who is this Jane Austin, has she got a blogpage?Robert Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163819196303858927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603897690317712031.post-16760835264754816102014-07-20T00:06:32.689+01:002014-07-20T00:06:32.689+01:00Jack Benny was a genius of comedy and so was Georg...Jack Benny was a genius of comedy and so was George Burns and Bob Hope . . . :)Eddie Bluelightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069024660422117718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603897690317712031.post-23045365540040373272014-07-19T23:58:49.005+01:002014-07-19T23:58:49.005+01:00I read somewhere that the longest recorded laugh i...I read somewhere that the longest recorded laugh in history was that burglar saying to Jack Benny, "Your money or your life.." What brought down the house was that Jack Benny simply gave a coy glance at the audience while saying nothing. The actor playing the burglar didn't know what to do so he repeated the line. This time Benny, the notorious miser, said, "I'm thinking about it!" That was the second longest laugh ever recorded.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603897690317712031.post-29473103980387122382014-07-19T23:23:14.942+01:002014-07-19T23:23:14.942+01:00Ahh!
