"It is a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money"

- Albert Camus

About this Quote

Albert Camus is suggesting that some people think that cash is not needed for joy. This is a kind of spiritual snobbery, as it indicates that those who do not have money are in some way more enlightened than those who do. This is an incorrect presumption, as cash can supply a number of the basic requirements of life, such as food, shelter, and clothing. Without cash, it is hard to access these basic requirements, and for that reason tough to be truly happy. Money can likewise offer access to experiences and chances that can bring pleasure and fulfillment. Therefore, it is incorrect to presume that cash is not necessary for happiness.
