Quote by Martin Amis

Weapons are like money; no one knows the meaning of enough.

Weapons are like money; no one knows the meaning of enough.

Summary

This quote implies that both weapons and money can be seen as never being seen as sufficient or enough. It suggests that there is a tendency for individuals or societies to constantly desire more of both in their pursuit of power or security. Just as people never seem to be satisfied with the amount of money they have, this quote suggests that there is a similar pattern when it comes to the acquisition and possession of weapons. It highlights the insatiable nature of human desires and the perpetual quest for more resources or instruments of power.
