intellectual wealth

Sartre og Beauvoir, billede fra Tumblr 

she doesn't have a big ring on each finger, or a big diamond on each ring

she doesn't wear a gold watch that costs as much as a fancy car

in fact, she doesn't own a fancy car

she doesn't carry an enormous designer bag

but she might have a newspaper under her arm

she might mention Sartre or Foucault in a conversation

it's her personality that sparkles and nothing else: the signs of intellectual wealth
