Was never a fan of her work, but damn. I wish she would write a non-fiction book about all the issues in the world.
Well, she's made her millions from books and movie adaptations of her work, so that kind of money is what is called "fuck you" money. Once people reach wealth of that level, they can pretty much do and say whatever they want, even at the risk of future income. Must be nice.
You don't need "fuck you money" you need "fuck you to money"
We need to go back to basics. The Bible was right. Love of money is the root of evil.
Accumulating wealth isn't the same as the "love of money." People who harm others in the pursuit of wealth are what the bible is referring to.
Yep
In a shallow context yes. Sayings typically have deeper meanings.
Money is an abstraction of value/power
What is another thing we know about the nature of man? That he is corruptable.
What corrupts man? Power and/or greed.
You have covered the greed aspect of money in your statement.

Imagine being able to have a mountain relocated because you want to and you have the money to pay to have it done. Imagine what that does to your head.
Money is a tool. Your shouldn't 'love' your tools. Appreciate what your tools let you do, and show respect for your tools, practice tool safety and be aware of potential dangers your tools can present. But don't obsess over them.
Money, guns, wrenches, syringes, oil paints, voltmeters... All tools.
