About this Quote

This quote by Anthony Burgess speaks to the fact that cash is a necessity in life, but that there are differing levels of requirement for it. It suggests that some people may be more desperate for cash than others, which this desperation can be measured. This could be due to a variety of factors, such as a person's financial situation, their way of life, or their goals. It could likewise be due to a person's mindset towards cash, and just how much they value it. The quote suggests that while cash is important, it is not the only thing that matters in life, which it needs to not be the sole focus of one's presence. It is very important to acknowledge that cash is a tool, which it must be utilized properly and with care.
