Quote #4
Money? Perhaps one couldn't say the same there. Money one always wanted. Money, Success, the b****-goddess, as Tommy Dukes persisted in calling it, after Henry James, that was a permanent necessity. (6.106)
Connie knows that money is necessary, too, but she doesn't feel very pragmatic about it. It's a "b****-goddess," half animal and half divine, and both halves end up controlling your life.
Quote #5
"Clifford and I together, we make twelve hundred a year out of writing"; so she put it to herself. Make money! Make it! Out of nowhere. Wring it out of the thin air! The last feat to be humanly proud of! (6.108)
Connie and Clifford make money through writing. Connie talks about it like something magical—the money doesn't come from human labor adding value to raw materials (which is how Karl Marx says that money is created) but from putting words down on paper. Pot, meet kettle.
Quote #6
Yet, if you were poor and wretched you had to care. Anyhow, it was becoming the only thing they did care about. The care about money was like a great cancer, eating away the individuals of all classes. He refused to care about money. (10.392)
It's easy for Mellors to say he doesn't care about money, since he's got a nice steady job working with his hands and has the education and talents to find all kinds of work. It's a lot harder to tell a coal-miner with three kids, a wife, and one-trick resume to stop caring about money.
