“I can’t do nothing for you either, Billy. You know that. None of us can. You got to understand that as soon as a man goes to help somebody, he leaves himself wide open.

― Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

― Alice Feeney, His & Hers

“It was a strategy as old as time. Make people desperate enough and they obeyed.”
