“If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.”

“It is not true that exist useless people. Exist bad people: they are harmful to mood, work, body and psyche. People who if they didn't exist, the world would be a better place.”

“Women had to work like slaves in the art world, but a lot of men got to the top through their charm. And it hurt them. To be young and pretty didn't help a woman in the art world, because the social scene, and the buying scene, was in the hands of women – women who had money. They wanted male artists who would come alone and be their charming guests. Rothko could be very charming. It was a court. And the artist buffoons came to the court to entertain, to charm. Now it has changed, now the younger men are in – older women and younger men.”

“Here’s the pay paradox that Why Men Earn More explains: Men earn more money, therefore men have more power; and men earn more money, therefore men have less power (earning more money as an obligation, not an option).

“People don't have fortunes left them in that style nowadays; men have to work and women to marry for money. It's a dreadfully unjust world.”

“Getting along with women,
Knocking around with men,
Having more credit than money,
Thus one goes through the world.”
