“There is a proven method by which, over time, the author has preserved his power to function and confidently recommends. It is this: You put on your pillow a small radio, its volume set at just above, or just below, clear audibility, tuned to a station where calm talking occurs, little music, and no shouted commercials. This reminds you of when, as a baby in a cradle, you heard the soft murmur of adult conversation in the adjacent room, and felt safe and loved and could therefore sleep secure.”
Bob Ellis, The Ellis Laws: Penguin Special

“If Capitalism has a definition it includes, surely, the concept value for money. You do not spend any more than your have to; you go where labour is cheapest, resources most bountiful, rules most lax, governments most permissive. Yet you also pay an idiot a fortune for doing nothing, and it is hard to see why. And if he is a hereditary idiot, very hard to see why.”
Bob Ellis, The Ellis Laws: Penguin Special
