Quotes by Douglas Corleone (?)

“Why bother waking up at all? Now that so many of us toil from home, it’s more onerous than ever to convince ourselves we’re key to the success of our respective companies, that we’re contributing to society at large as opposed to a handful of wealthy executives and stockholders. Most of us are what we were all along: automatons, as easily replaced as any kitchen appliance. Our primary purpose is to grow others’ wealth. The difference is, now we know it. We see it. We feel it. Our unnecessariness. And it hurts.”
