"The way we live and our values are the expression of the society we live in. And we cling to that. It doesn't matter if I'm the President. Either you're happy with very little, without overburdening yourself because you have happiness inside, or you'll get nowhere. I am not advocating poverty. I am advocating sobriety. But we invented a consumer society which is continually seeking growth. When there's no growth, it's tragic. We invented a mountain of superfluous needs. You have to keep buying, throwing away...it's our lives we are squandering. When I buy something, or when you buy it, we're not paying with money, we're paying with the time from our lives we had to spend to earn that money. The difference is that you can't buy life. Life just goes by. And it's terrible to waste your life losing your freedom." - José Mujica, Former President of Uruguay (from Human, The Movie)
