Render Unto Ceasar
Barbara Kruger (b. 1945) - I shop therefore I am, 1990
"I am opposed to millionaires, but it would be dangerous to offer me the position."
"There's no money in poetry, but then there's no poetry in money, either."
"I'd like to live as a poor man with lots of money."
"There are people who have money and people who are rich."
"Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons."
"It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money."
"When it is a question of money, everybody is of the same religion."
"When I was young I thought money was the most important thing in life: now that I'm old I know it is."
"I'm living so far beyond my income that we may be said to be living apart."
"If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to."
Mark Twain

Turner's Tempest
Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) - Shade and Darkness: The Evening of the Deluge, 1843
"Nature is an infinite sphere of which the centre is everywhere and the circumference nowhere."
"If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen."
"I believe in God, only I spell it Nature."
"That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone, that we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life would lead us to believe."
"The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful."
"Nature is an infinite sphere of which the centre is everywhere and the circumference nowhere."
Blaise Pascal
"If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen."

Anthems Of Ecstasy
9 Songs (2004) - d. Michael Winterbottom (b. 1961)
i like my body when it is with your
i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh . . . And eyes big love-crumbs,
and possibly i like the thrill
of under me you so quite new
e. e. cummings (1894-1962)
