"People in towns are always preoccupied. 'Have I missed the bus? Have I forgotten the potatoes? Can I get across the road?"

Perhaps the most important use of money - It saves time. Life is so short, and there's so much to do, one can't afford to waste a minute; and just think how much you waste, for instance, in walking from place to place instead of going by bus and in going by bus instead of by taxi.

— W. Somerset Maugham
