People hate their own company --- they cry when they see themselves in mirrors. It scares them, the way their faces look. Maybe that's a clue to the whole thing...”
― Paul Theroux, The Mosquito Coast

“Thieves of private property pass their lives in chains; thieves of public property in riches and luxury.”
