“If I could live in a tiny dwelling on a rock in the ocean, surrounded by the waves of the sea and cut off from the sight and sound of everything else, I would still not be free of the cares of this passing world, or from the fear that somehow the love of money might still come and snatch me away. “
Cuthbert of Lindesfarne (d.687) Monk in Scotland, later Bishop of Lindesfarne
