Summary

This quote highlights the diminishing returns of wealth. It suggests that money can indeed bring happiness up until a certain point, likely when basic needs and comforts are adequately met.

The quote implies that while money has its benefits in terms of financial security and fulfillment of desires, its ability to bring genuine happiness diminishes once material needs are fulfilled.

I came up poor. My mother only had a fourth-grade education. My dad didn't have any education at all. But they were very structured. They worked hard. You know, they didn't complain. They didn't murmur. And they believe in the Christ.

We have dreamt of every woman there is, and dreamt too of the miracle that would bring us the pleasure of being a woman, for women have all the qualities -- courage, passion, the capacity to love, cunning -- whereas all our imagination can do is naively pile up the illusion of courage.
