“Money frees you from doing things you dislike. Since I dislike doing nearly everything, money is handy.”
–Groucho Marx, US comedian with Marx Brothers (1890 – 1977)
Addendum…
“Comes in handy for those things that you do like as well.”
–David ‘checkerhead’ Aiken
There’s a wonderful turn about in much of Groucho Marx’s comedy. Simple statement turned on it’s ear for the punch-line. I chose this one this particular quote because I sometimes feel like the pursuit of money comes at the expense of artistic pursuits. I’ve created a NUT for myself that requires me to sometimes take well paying jobs as opposed to pursuing more adventurous opportunities from which I might have grown more as an artist. Sure does come in handy to free you from the things you dislike and enable you to do the things you do though…
