• There are rights that Hillary Clinton doesn't like. American people have too many rights. There's too much freedom. Government doesn't have enough rights, in her mind. Government's too limited. The Constitution limits the government way, way, way too much. "And I feel strongly that" - fake smile - "the Supreme Court needs to stand on the side of the American people." Not on the side of the powerful corporations and the wealthy.

• Los tipos impositivos para los ricos deberían volver a los niveles de la época de Clinton, tanto porque es necesario para reducir el déficit a largo plazo como porque lo dicta la equidad. Además, no hay pruebas de que unos tipos marginales más altos disuadan de invertir, a pesar de toda la retórica de la derecha.

• I am very attracted to the United States. Why? Well, as a little kid from Southern Italy, not from a wealthy family, it was always my dream to go to the Big Apple. I'm not one to listen to classical music. I am very much for what is American, but I also prefer the America of the ghetto. I love the Bronx. I love hip-hop and R&B. I love electro-Latino, Latin music, that whole realm.

• Johannesburg is weird, because half of it is like Los Angeles. It feels like just wealthy parts of L.A. But half of it is severe slummy, something like Rio De Janiero or something. So it's kind of weird, because it's both happening at the same time.

• Te quiero demasiado para mentirte, Lisey. Te amo con todo lo que pasa por mi corazón. Sospecho que ese tipo de amor total se convierte en una carga para una mujer con el tiempo, pero es el único que tengo para dar. Creo que vamos a ser una pareja bastante rica en términos de dinero, pero es casi seguro que seré un indigente emocional toda mi vida. Tengo el dinero, pero en cuanto al resto, tengo lo justo para ti, y nunca lo ensuciaré ni lo diluiré con mentiras. Ni con las palabras que digo, ni con las que me guardo.

• Do you know," he said, "there are men who would like very much to see me dead. Powerful men. Obscenely wealthy me. Men who can afford to be patient and engage the services of large, ruthless brutes. I've managed to evade them all. But you...God's truth, I think you'll be the very death of me.

• Barrons was powerful, broodingly good-looking, insanely wealthy, frighteningly intelligent, and had exquisite taste, not to mention a hard body that emitted some kind of constant low-level charge. Bottom line: He was the stuff of heroes. And psychotic killers.

• La vanidad se extendía sobre todo a su biblioteca, posiblemente el verdadero amor de la vida de Cicerón. Es difícil nombrar algo que le produjera más placer, aparte posiblemente de la evasión de las leyes suntuarias. A Cicerón le gustaba creerse rico. Se enorgullecía de sus libros. No necesitaba más razones para que Cleopatra le cayera mal: las mujeres inteligentes que tenían mejores bibliotecas que él le ofendían por tres motivos.

• The Constitution. . . illustrates the complexity of the American system: that it serves the interests of a wealthy elite, but also does enough for small property owners, for middle-income mechanics and farmers, to build a broad base of support. The slightly prosperous people who make up this base of support are buffers against the blacks, the Indians, the very poor whites. They enable the elite to keep control with a minimum of coercion, a maximum of law--all made palatable by the fanfare of patriotism and unity.

• She suddenly saw Wimsey in a new light. She knew him to be intelligent, clean, courteous, wealthy, well-read, amusing and enamored, but he had not so far produced in her that crushing sense of inferiority which leads to prostration and hero-worship. But she now realized that there was, after all, something godlike about him. He could control a horse.

• Los calormenos tienen el rostro moreno y largas barbas. Visten túnicas vaporosas y turbantes de color anaranjado, y son un pueblo sabio, rico, cortés, cruel y antiguo. Se inclinaron muy cortésmente ante Caspian y le dedicaron largos cumplidos acerca de las fuentes de prosperidad que riegan los jardines de la prudencia y la virtud --y cosas por el estilo-- pero, por supuesto, lo que querían era el dinero que habían pagado.

• Me opongo a que me digan que estoy ahorrando luz diurna cuando mi razón me dice que no estoy haciendo nada de eso... En el trasfondo del plan de ahorro de luz diurna detecto la mano huesuda y de dedos azules del puritanismo, ansiosa por empujar a la gente a acostarse más temprano y a levantarse más temprano, para hacerlos sanos, ricos y sabios a pesar de ellos mismos.

• So the greatest source of happiness is other people- and what does money do? It isolates us from other people. It enables us to build walls, literal and figurative, around ourselves. We move from a teeming college dorm to an apartment to a house, and if we're really wealthy, to an estate. We think we're moving up, but really we're walling off ourselves.

• Every one should be wealthy, if only for a day, so that each might realize that be being rich is not the ideal condition that most believe it is. And like the land, we should have little need for all that silver when we cease breating. Let us enjoy the smiling faces of as many children of god as we can while we are able to see them.
