Quotes

• A social body which lives essentially upon the gifts which it shouldn't collect itself - here, the priestly body - loses the sense of reality: money is no longer the fruit of work, it becomes an abstract value. When there is no more money, one believes that there still is more. To live like this upon gifts does not favor the maturity of comportments.
