More From Barbara Ehrenreich

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
We economists don't know much, but we do know how to create a shortage. if you want to create a shortage of tomatoes, for example, just pass a law that retailers can't sell tomatoes for more than two cents per pound. instantly you'll have a tomato shortage. it's the same with oil or gas.
Oil Law Two
The whole idea of motivation is a trap. forget motivation. just do it. exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever. do it without motivation. and then, guess what? after you start doing the thing, that's when the motivation comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it.
Motivational Exercise Persistence
Philosophical argument, trying to get someone to believe something whether he wants to believe it or not, is not, i have held, a nice way to behave towards someone; also it does not fit the original motivation for studying or entering philosophy. that motivation is puzzlement, curiousity, a desire to understand, not a desire to produce uniformity of belief. most people do not want to become thought-police. the philosophical goal of explanation rather than proof not only is morally better, it is more in accord with one's philosophical motivation.

The problem of the apes is not a shortage of money, it is a shortage of strategy. let us devote our minds... the one thing we have more of than other apes... and let's secure their future.
Mind Apes Problem
For after all, what is there behind, except money? money for the right kind of education, money for influential friends, money for leisure and peace of mind, money for trips to italy. money writes books, money sells them. give me not righteousness, o lord, give me money, only money.

She surrounded herself with books at work and at home. her living space was a testament to her first and abiding love with shelves jammed with books tables crowded with them. she saw them not only as knowledge entertainment comfort even sanity but as a kind of artful decoration.
Book Home Space
Tis the good reader that makes the good book; a good head cannot read amiss: in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakeably meant for his ear.
Book Reading Ears
I was not happy as a child, although from time to time i was content. i lived in books more than i lived anywhere else.
Children Book Not Happy
I have lots of notebooks around, because one great advantage of writing by hand-in addition to how much it slows you down-is that it makes me write at the speed that i feel i should be composing, rather than faster than i can think, which is what happens to me on any keyboard.
