Todd Anderson: [standing on his desk] Oh captain, my captain.
John Keating: Sucking the marrow out of life doesn't mean choking on the bone.
Gloria: Don't you guys miss having girls around here? Meeks, Pitts: Yeah.

Historically, over the last two or three hundred years, the relationship that we've had with money as a society - having money, talking about money - has been a little bit of a shameful thing. Splashing money about is clearly wrong, but there's nothi...
