This quote suggests that when someone becomes consumed by their own wealth or success, they will be the most affected and surprised when they face setbacks or failures.

So okay - there you are in your room with the shade down and the door shut and the plug pulled out of the base of the telephone. You've blown up your TV and committed yourself to a thousand words a day, come hell or high water. Now comes the big question: What are you going to write about?
