“[They want] to tell everyone what they should think and what they should do. Why do people want to do that?'
'I don't know. Sometimes I think people want power instead of strength. And money instead of achievement. And sex instead of love. And titles instead of honor, and fame instead of pride, and credit instead of work. They choose what seems to be instead of what is. But... even though they have their power, their money, and sex or fame, even if they wear the most fashionable virtues for all the world to see, they're hollow inside. When they don't believe in themselves, people can never really believe in anything. It's just a giant... masquerade.”
