 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
The man who worships money has ceased to hope for happiness through his own efforts or in his own activities : he looks upon happiness as a passive enjoyment of pleasures derived from the outside world. The artist or the lover does not worship money in his moments of ardour, because his desires are specific, and directed towards objects which only he can create. .
