“But money has a peculiar nature. It can buy objects and souls, but it can also change them. It dulls emotions. Then, with the methodical and disciplined way in which it is accumulated, it severs every tie of its possessor to the spiritual world, in whose name sometimes their furious pursuit initially sparked. Ultimately, the hunting and cornering, with the ferocity and determination of a bewildered frenzy, disrupts the centre, blurs perceptions, erases the outlines of values, and extracts meaning—both from the pursued and the pursuer. Money loses its purpose. Its function. It no longer serves him, and he forgets to serve himself with it, sinking into self-loathing. The only nature that money eventually retains, and which he attributes to it, because he remembers nothing else, is accumulation. This is the very end: of the humanity in him and the life he was given.” — Iva Dimitrova
