Book cover for Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man
Fred’s fundamental beliefs about how the world worked—in life, there can be only one winner and everybody else is a loser (an idea that essentially precluded the ability to share) and kindness is weakness—were clear.

Teju Cole
“The systems that could lift the majority out of poverty are undercut at every turn. Precisely because everyone takes a shortcut, nothing works and, for this reason, the only way to get anything done is to take another shortcut.”
Teju Cole, Every Day is for the Thief

George R.R. Martin
“Daemon Blackfyre, the brothers Toyne, the Vulture King, Grand Maester Hareth … traitors have always paid with their lives … even Rhaenyra Targaryen. She was daughter to one king and mother to two more, yet she died a traitor’s death for trying to usurp her brother’s crown.”
George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

Mary L. Trump
“Financial worth was the same as self-worth, monetary value was human value. The more Fred Trump had, the better he was. If he gave something to someone else, that person would be worth more and he less. He would pass that attitude on to Donald in spades.”
Mary L. Trump, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man

Philip Pullman
“seems to me the place you fight cruelty is where you find it, and the place you give help is where you see it needed.”
Philip Pullman, The Subtle Knife

Frank Patrick Herbert
“Dune was a world of paradox now—a world under siege, yet the center of power. To come under siege, he decided, was the inevitable fate of power.”
Frank Herbert
