"But while man has in money, as Arnheim saw it, the surest control of society, a means as tough and precise as the guillotine, it can also be as vulnerable as an arthritic - how painfully the money market limps and aches all over at the slightest draft! - and is most delicately involved with everything it controls."
Robert Musil,
The Man Without Qualities, trans. by Sophie Wilkins and Burton Pike (London: Picador, 1997), p. 421.
