“Love is the net profit on life.”

“So this is the goal: To make money by increasing net profit, while simultaneously increasing return on investment, and simultaneously increasing cash flow.”

“Perhaps the most extraordinary characteristic of current America is the attempt to reduce life to buying and selling. Life is not love unless love is sex and bought and sold. Life is not knowledge save knowledge of technique, of science for destruction. Life is not beauty except beauty for sale. Life is not art unless its price is high and it is sold for profit. All life is production for profit, and for what is profit but for buying and selling again?”

“I write down the three measurements which Lou and I agreed are central to knowing if the company is making money: net profit, ROI and cash flow.”

“The real safety net of life is community, family and nature.”

“Joy is a net of love in which you can catch souls.”
