“At the time I’m sure I would have sworn I was handling all this beautifully, but for a beautiful handler there sure were a lot of things I couldn’t bring myself to say. “I knew what you meant,” Gabriel said. That might have been the beginning of a pattern I had with him. I would say something, then clarify the something, only to learn that he’d understood perfectly all along. Probably because I was so used to saying things that hit other people like a complex alien language.”
― Catherine Ryan Hyde, Life, Loss, and Puffins

“Money is what God used to be. Good and evil have no meaning any longer except failure and success. Hence the profoundly significant phrase, to MAKE GOOD. The decalogue has been reduced to two commandments. One for the employers—the elect, the money– priesthood as it were—'Thou shalt make money'; the other for the employed—the slaves and underlings—'Thou shalt not lose thy job.' It was about this time that he came across The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists and read about the starving carpenter who pawns everything but sticks to his aspidistra. The aspidistra became a sort of symbol for Gordon after that.”
― George Orwell, Keep the Aspidistra Flying
