    What’s the point of fighting the dollars
    when all you need is a warm bed?
    When the dog barks you let him in.
    All we need is someone to let us in.
    And one other thing:
    to consider the lilies in the field.

    What between the duties expected of one during one’s lifetime, and the duties exacted from one after one’s death, land has ceased to be either a profit or a pleasure. It gives one position, and prevents one from keeping it up. That’s all that can be said about land.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
