“Take what the world owes you by any means necessary,鈥� Pride had said. 鈥淭he world has a shit memory. It will never pay its debts unless you force its hand.”

“That second man has his own way of looking at things; asks himself which debt must I pay first, the debt to the rich, or the debt to the poor? the debt of money, or the debt of thought to mankind, of genius to nature? For you, O broker! there is no other principle but arithmetic. For me, commerce is of trivial import; love, faith, truth of character, the aspiration of man, these are sacred; nor can I detach one duty, like you, from all other duties, and concentrate my forces mechanically on the payment of moneys. Let me live onward; you shall find that, though slower, the progress of my character will liquidate all these debts without injustice to higher claims. If a man should dedicate himself to the payment of notes, would not this be injustice? Does he owe no debt but money? And are all claims on him to be postponed to a landlord's or a banker's?”

“It's hard to keep a company going with little cash, little sales, high debt and decreasing asset values. If a company ever gets into this situation, it's a wrap.”

“Quando avviene che un individuo abbia contratto forti debiti con un altro con il quale in seguito gli capita di litigare, si direbbe che una regola rigorosa della buona creanza imponga al primo di diventare nemico del secondo, e pi霉 spietato di quanto non sarebbe un estraneo. Poi, per motivare la propria crudelt脿 e la propria ingratitudine, si 猫 costretti a gettare ogni colpa sull鈥檃ltro. Nessuno 猫 mai disposto a riconoscere il proprio cieco egoismo e ad ammettere di essere furibondo perch茅 una speculazione non 猫 andata a buon fine. Manco per sogno! Le cose sono andate come sono andate perch茅 il socio ha provocato una siffatta situazione a causa della trame pi霉 vili e mosso da perfide intenzioni. La sua coerenza induce il persecutore a sostenere che il contrario 猫 vero: il perseguitato 猫 un lestofante; altrimenti lui, il persecutore, non sarebbe che un miserabile. Per giunta, ci貌 che per solito vale a tranquillizzare ulteriormente la coscienza dei creditori pi霉 implacabili, sta nel fatto che in genere chi si trova in difficolt脿 finanziarie non 猫 caratterizzato da una specchiata onest脿. Nasconde sempre qualcosa di non del tutto limpido: o ha esagerato magnificando la consistenza di una fortuna in realt脿 pi霉 modesta, o ha celato l鈥檈ffettivo andamento dei suoi affari, o ancora asserisce che le sue faccende procedono a gonfie vele quando invece stanno andando a catafascio, e continua a sorridere (quale tragico sorriso!) mentre ormai 猫 sull鈥檕rlo del fallimento; inoltre 猫 sempre pronto ad attaccarsi a qualsiasi pretesto pur di rinviare i pagamenti e riuscire a dilazionare anche di pochi giorni la fatale catastrofe. 芦Basta, basta con questa disonest脿!禄, esclama trionfante il creditore dileggiando il povero derelitto che affonda. 芦Ma tu, pazzo, perch茅 non ti afferri alla pagliuzza?禄 propone il signor Buon Senso all鈥檜omo che sta annegando. 芦E tu, mascalzone, perch茅 non ti decidi ad affrontare la vergogna del Bollettino dei protesti alla quale non ti 猫 pi霉 possibile sottrarti?禄 dice chi s鈥檌mpingua grazie all鈥檕ttimo andamento dei suoi affari al povero diavolo che si dibatte in un pelago in tempesta.”

“Take students today They are in some ways freer than they were 60 years ago in their attitudes and commitments and so on. On the other hand they are more disciplined. They are disciplined by debt. Part of the reasoning for arranging education so you come out with heavy debt is so you are disciplined. Take the last 20 years鈥攖he neo-liberal years roughly鈥攁 very striking part of what is called "globalization" is just aimed at discipline. It wants to eliminate freedom of choice and impose discipline. How do you do that? Well, if you're a couple in the U.S. now, each working 50 hours a week to put food on the table, you don't have time to think about how to become a libertarian socialist. When what you are worried about is "how can I get food on the table?" or "I've got kids to take care of, and when they are sick I've got to go to work and what's going to happen to them?" Those are very well-designed techniques of imposing discipline.”

“The number one danger of debt is that it put someone else besides God as master of your life. Just as slavery can dehumanize our dignity, so debt can have a debilitating effect on our spiritual, emotional and relational lives.”

I need a break and take a pill,
Need some sleep right away,

“I get this feeling,' I said, pacing a step, the ancient wood floorboards creaking beneath my boots, my power a writhing, living thing prowling through my veins, 'that it's all some sort of joke. Some sort of cosmic trick, and that no one- no one- can be this happy and not pay for it.'
'You've already paid for it, Rhys. Both of you. And then some.'
I waved a hand. 'I just...' I trailed off, unable to finish the words.
Cassian stared at me for a long moment.
Then he crossed the distance between us, gathering me in an embrace so tight I could barely breathe. 'You made it. We made it. You both endured enough that no one would blame you if you danced off into the sunset like Miryam and Drakon and never bothered with anything else again. But you are bothering- you're both still working to make this peace last. Peace, Rhys. We have peace, and the true kind. Enjoy it- enjoy each other. You paid the debt before it was ever a debt.'
My throat tightened, and I gripped him hard around his wings, the scales of his leathers digging into my fingers. 'What about you?' I asked, pulling away after a moment. 'Are you... happy?'
Shadows darkened his hazel eyes. 'I'm getting there.'
A halfhearted answer.
I'd have to work on that, too. Perhaps there were threads to be pulled, woven together.
Cassian jerked his chin toward the door. 'Get going, you bastard. I'll see you in three days.'
I nodded, opening the door at last. But paused on the threshold. 'Thanks, brother.'
Cassian's crooked grin was bright, even if those shadows still guttered in his eyes. 'It's an honour, my lord.”

“Finally, we are getting to know about our education system that the educated people are running here and there with their degrees for jobs and employment while the dropouts are becoming self-employed by investing in self-education and doing what matters in their life and making money as early as a teen. The more you get deeper in understanding why your education has failed you the more it points out to the system or program which created for you to become ignorant and debtful.”

“Their insatiable greed, love for money, and obsession with materialism and branded things, ironically, lead them down a path of poverty and debt. Like a never-ending cycle, they crave more, yet never seem to have enough, burying themselves in a grave of financial burdens and sacrificing true wealth, peace, and happiness.”
