"So I always ask the question: What would you like to do if money were no object? How would you really enjoy spending your life? When we finally got down to something which the individual says he really wants to do I will say to him 'You do that! And forget the money!' Because if you say that getting the money is the most important thing you will spend your life completely wasting your time! You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living - that is to go on doing things you don't like doing! Which is stupid! Better to have a short life that is full of which you like doing then a long life spent in a miserable way."
- Alan Watts. January 6, 1915 – November 16, 1973
