Wisdom from Catch 22 author Joseph Heller, via Kurt Vonnegut and Vanguard founder John Bogle [1]:

<quote>

... At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, the late Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, the author Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel Catch 22 over its whole history.

Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have . . . Enough.”
