Bertolt Brecht

What happens to the hole when the cheese is gone?

More and more these days I find myself pondering how to reconcile my net income with my gross habits.

I have never believed that prosperity is bad or something to be shunned.

I put a dollar in one of those change machines. Nothing changed!

If all the economists were laid end to end, they’d never reach a conclusion.

Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don’t have for something they don’t need.

Money is indeed the most important thing in the world.

I have never been in a situation where having money made it worse.

When I was young, I thought that money was the most important thing in the world. Now that I’m old . . . I know it is.

Money is the opposite of the weather. Nobody talks about it, but everybody does something about it.

Undermine the entire economic structure of society by leaving the pay toilet door ajar so the next person can get in free.

I don’t mind that I’m fat. You still get the same money.

I’m living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart.

When people ask me if I have any spare change, I tell them I have it at home in my spare wallet.

Somebody said to me, ‘But the Beatles were anti-materialistic.’ That’s a huge myth. John and I literally used to sit down and say, ‘Now, let’s write a swimming pool’.

If you’re given a choice between money and sex appeal, take the money. As you get older, the money will become your sex appeal.
