Such a good book! I never get tired of reading it. From the same chapter: “It’s a lot easier to blow up trains than to make them run on time. What is it that Mister Churchill used to say? ‘Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.’”

"Fear," he used to say, "fear is the most valuable commodity in the universe." That blew me away. "Turn on the TV," he'd say. "What are you seeing? People selling their products? No. People selling the fear of you having to live without their products." Fuckin' A, was he right. Fear of aging, fear of loneliness, fear of poverty, fear of failure. Fear is the most basic emotion we have. Fear is primal. Fear sells.

Most people don’t believe something can happen until it already has. That’s not stupidity or weakness, that’s just human nature.
