Life — is it anything more than a machine to which money imparts the motion?

Gobseck (1830)

What frightful tableaux might present themselves, if one could paint the ideas found in the souls of those who surround the deathbeds? And money is always the mobilizer of the intrigues elaborated, the plans formulated, the conspiracies woven!

Gobseck (1830)
