It has always seemed strange to me… the things we admire in people, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while people admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
—John Steinbeck
Humans need at least four middle fingers.
