You can never be too rich or too thin.

Summary

This quote, often attributed to the socialite Wallis Simpson, suggests that wealth and physical thinness are desirable attributes that one should constantly aspire towards. It reflects a certain societal idealization of material wealth and a thin body as symbols of success and beauty. The quote implies that there is no limit to how much wealth one can accumulate or how physically thin one can become. However, it's important to critically reflect on such ideals as they can perpetuate unhealthy obsessions and unrealistic expectations.
