“Money is the last enemy that shall never be subdued. While there is flesh there is money or the want of money, but money is always on the brain so long as there is a brain in reasonable order.”

English novelist and critic

Samuel Butler was an English novelist and critic. He is best known for the satirical utopian novel Erewhon (1872) and for The Way of All Flesh, a semi-autobiographical novel that has stayed in print since publication. Butler also wrote on Christian orthodoxy, evolutionary thought, and Italian art. He made prose translations of the Iliad and Odyssey, which are still consulted today.
