• I have had the occasion of coming into money and spending some recklessly, like on a purse.

• My depth of purse is not so great
  Nor yet my bibliophilic greed,
  That merely buying doth elate:
  The books I buy I like to read:
  Still e'en when dawdling in a mead,
  Beneath a cloudless summer sky,
  By bank of Thames, or Tyne, or Tweed,
  The books I read — I like to buy.

  A. Edward Newton

• Money alone is only a mean; it presupposes a man to use it. The rich man can go where he pleases, but perhaps please himself nowhere. He can buy a library or visit the whole world, but perhaps has neither patience to read nor intelligence to see.... The purse may be full and the heart empty. He may have gained the world and lost himself; and with all his wealth around him ... he may live as blank a life as any tattered ditcher.

  Robert Louis Stevenson

  Money, Heart, Mean

• So, before leading my troops into battle, we would get drunk and drugged up, sacrifice a local teenager, drink their blood, then strip down to our shoes and go into battle wearing colourful wigs and carrying dainty purses we'd looted from civilians. We'd slaughter anyone we saw, chop their heads off and use them as soccer balls. We were nude, fearless, drunk and homicidal. We killed hundreds of people - so many I lost count.
