I do feel that quote is ridiculous. Since I started playing poker, I often think of money as a tool that can get more money, in addition to whatever else it does for me. (Like buying bacon-wrapped scallops. I'm hungry.). But there's no gain in lighting $100 on fire. If there is a gain, then that falls under the "tool to get me more money" - maybe people will think I'm crazy and lose more to me, or give me free food. Then I'm lighting it on fire to gain more.
