Baudrillard, Jean
I hesitate to deposit money in a bank. I am afraid I shall never dare to take it out again. When you go to confession and entrust your sins to the safe-keeping of the priest, do you ever come back for them?

It is easier to rob by setting up a bank than by holding up a bank clerk.

Good bankers, like good tea, can only be appreciated when they are in hot water.

Jefferson, Thomas
I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.

Lapham, Lewis H.
It is no accident that banks resemble temples, preferably Greek, and that the supplicants who come to perform the rites of deposit and withdrawal instinctively lower their voices into the registers of awe. Even the most junior tellers acquire within weeks of their employment the officiousness of hierophants tending an eternal flame. I don't know how they become so quickly inducted into the presiding mysteries, or who instructs them in the finely articulated inflections of contempt for the laity, but somehow they learn to think of themselves as suppliers of the monetarized DNA that is the breath of life.

Longford, Lord
With a group of bankers I always had the feeling that success was measured by the extent one gave nothing away.

Twain, Mark
A banker is a fellow who lends his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain.
