Quote about dreaming about money.....?


"A fellow once said: 'Never forget we are human, and as humans we must dream, and when we dream, we dream of money.'" --George Lang

Even though Ricky Jay's character says this, I was wondering if there actually WAS a fellow who said this, or this is a famous quote. I tried to google it, and all that comes back is The Spanish Prisoner. But that doesnt mean it is originally from this necessarily, it just means it has overshadowed it. Like the quote "we are the music makers..."--that just comes up as Willy Wonka usually, even though it isn't.

And good luck finding the origin of "ghost in the machine." I think it was Schopenhauer...but I heard that somewhere. It certainly didn't pop up in the first 10,000 pages of search results.
