“Have you never noticed that to be rich always means an impoverishment on another level? It is enough for you to say ‘I have this watch, it is mine’, and close your hand on it, to be in possession of a watch and to have lost a hand. And if you close your mind on your riches, if you close your heart so that you can keep what is in it safe, never to lose it, then it becomes as small as the thing on which you have closed yourself in.”
