Quote by Stephen King
Anyway, as the old barrelhouse song says, My God, how the money rolled in. Norton must have subscribed to the old Puritan notion that the best way to figure out which folks God favours is by checking their bank acounts.
Summary
This quote satirically refers to the belief that one's wealth and financial success are indicators of their godliness or moral superiority. It alludes to Norton, a fictional character, subscribing to the Puritan belief that one's bank account reflects God's favor. The mention of a "barrelhouse song" highlights the ironic tone, implying that money can flow in without any inherent connection to divine favor or spiritual virtue. This quote critiques the notion of using wealth as a measure of one's worth or righteousness.
