The Third Law of Money

“Money is very much a state of mind. It’s much like the states of consciousness that you see on an acid trip. . . . It is fantasy in itself, purely a dream. People who go after it as though it were real and tangible, say a person who is trying to earn a hundred thousand dollars, orients their life and ends up in such a way as to have been significantly changed simply to reach that goal. They become part of that object and since the object is a dream (a mirage) they become different from what they set out to be.”
