If there's some triumphant end of the story, I guess in a roundabout way I've gotten what I wanted, which is the ability to do interesting things and the wealth to be free.

In the past there were two things that motivated me then: independence, and passion about what I was doing. And those are still the things that motivate me now.

All men who would obtain freedom must obtain wealth

Today it is only the rich who are "free". They employ their time wisely or foolishly as they choose. They ask no one's permission and seek no one's advice whether they shall squander their substance in riotous living or devote themselves to good works. What they do with their time is their own affair. In the future such freedom would be open to everybody.

You must be independent and able to do for yourself. Then you do not have to marry a rich man; you can marry a poor one. And if it is wrong, you can go.
