Everything is connected with everything else. However, for every single truth (or assumed as verity), there is a "transversal" one. All these transversal truths constitute the contradictions of modern life.

Pecunia non olet (bis)

Vespasiano: "No huele, y sin embargo, es producto de la orina..."
Reprehendenti filio Tito, quod etiam urinae vectigal commentus esset, pecuniam ex prima pensione admovit ad nares, sciscitans, "num odore offenderetur";
et illo negante, "atqui", inquit, "e lotio est".
Suetonio, Vespasiano, 23, 3
