On true art:
Works of art, like many of the best things in life, can be products of both calling and commerce, but only the former is essential. A work of art can be sold on the market or it can survive without the market. But it must not be reduced solely to a commodity. Without the giftedness and inspiration that come from calling, it is not true art (p. 136).How money effects our relationships:
For if "time is money" and people take time, then the "opportunity costs" of relationship (that gain that we would earn by doing something else) will be prohibitive and intimate friendships will be few. "Spending" time with friends is costly: we could "invest" it better elsewhere (p. 135).
