“Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.”
“The dreams of the rich, and the dreams of the poor—they never overlap, do they?See, the poor dream all their lives of getting enough to eat and looking like the rich. And what do the rich dream of?Losing weight and looking like the poor.”
The Sixth Night.
The White Tiger (2008)
