A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it. – Samuel Butler
To give money to a woman – and here I must speak as a man – is to deny her special quality, her irreplaceability, and reduce her unique amiability to a commodity. Money takes away her name, while transforming her lover into a nameless customer of a market of appetites. – James Buchan
