“Yes, but there's not time to read nowadays. A fellow has to keep scratching round to make money or he's nobody," cut in Charlie, trying to look worldly wise. "This love of money is the curse of America, and for the sake of it men will sell honor and honesty, till we don't know whom to trust. Only a genius like Agassiz dares to say, 'I cannot waste my time getting rich,'" said Mrs. Jessie sadly.” — Louisa May Alcott
