I have imbibed such a love for money that I keep some sequins in a drawer to count, and cry over them once a week.

Summary

This quote reflects a deep obsession with money, characterized by an excessive attachment and focus on material wealth. The act of keeping and counting sequins, which are small decorative discs often associated with value or luxury, signifies a compulsive need to associate one's worth and happiness with money. The mention of crying over them suggests a conflicting emotional response, perhaps conveying the hollowness of this preoccupation and the longing for something more meaningful in life.
