Art is the principal way in which the human mind has tried to remake the world in a way that makes sense. The carefully edited, slow-motion, action replay of a rugby tackle, a car crash or a sex act has more significance than the original event. Thanks to virtual reality, we will soon be moving into a world where a heightened super-reality will consist entirely of action replays, and reality will therefore be all the more rich and meaningful.
James Graham Ballard
Science now finds itself in paradoxical strife with society: admired but mistrusted; offering hope for the future but creating ambiguous choice; richly supported yet unable to fulfill all its promise; boasting remarkable advances but criticized for not serving more directly the goals of society.
J. Michael Bishop
The honest poor can sometimes forget poverty. The honest rich can never forget it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The passion of acquiring riches in order to support a vain expense, corrupts the purest souls.
Francis De S.Fenelon
Humanity is the rich effluvium, it is the waste and the manure and the soil, and from it grows the tree of the arts.
Ezra Pound
All men, rich and poor, must aid one another materially and personally
Aga Khan III
Electricity produced in the name of the poor is consumed by the rich with endless appetites,
Arundhati Roy
Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those who spend too fast never grow rich.
Honor de Balzac

Francis Bacon
Human prosperity never rests but always craves more, till blown up with pride it totters and falls. From the opulent mansions pointed at by all passers-by none warns it away, none cries, 'Let no more riches enter!
Aeschylus
The number one problem in our world is alienation, rich versus poor, black versus white, labor versus management, conservative versus liberal, East versus West . . . But Christ came to bring about reconciliation and peace.
Billy Graham
A rich man is either a scoundrel or the heir of a scoundrel.
