Paul Valéry Quote

There is a value called mind as there is a value oil, wheat, or gold. … One can invest in that value, one can follow it as they say on the stock exchange; one can watch its fluctuations in I know not what price list which is the world's general opinion of it. … All these rising and falling values constitute the great market of human affairs. And of these the unfortunate value mind does not stop falling.
