“When we got more houses than we can live in, more cars than we can ride in, more food than we can eat ourselves, the only way of getting richer by cutting off those who don't have enough. If everybody has more than enough, what good is my more-than-enough? What good is a wide meadow open to everyone? It isn't until others are fenced out that the open pasture begins to have real value.

― Nelson Algren, A Walk on the Wild Side

“Always listen to yourself... It is better to be wrong than simply to follow convention.”
