    "Those at the top of the social order are apt to preach benevolence and
righteousness to those at the bottom. Yet those at the top have typically
stolen their position from others. They are the greatest thieves, because
they have stolen the greatest amount of land and other property. So words
about benevolence and righteousness are usually the fruit of robbery." -

living and forget to play!" - Lin Yutang, _The Importance of Living_
