“...in respect of riches, no citizen shall ever be wealthy enough to buy another, and none poor enough to be forced to sell himself.”
― Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract

― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

“...as long as nothing happens between them, the memory is cursed with what hasn't happened.”
