“I want to price my next book and adjust it for the coming hyperinflation. So instead of the normal one dollar price, I’ll charge $1,000,000.00. If I sell one copy now I’ll be a happy man, and if I sell a million copies after hyperinflation hits in a few years then I’ll be equally as happy.”

I didn’t want to live on the outskirts of reality. I wanted to understand the main thing about life and pursue it.”

“I want to minimize the deaths I am responsible for.”

“I want a man who's kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?”

“If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire.”
