1 " Power has always corrupted, my dear. Even the promise of power. It is a hard thing to look at through the fence for hundreds of years without wondering what it would be like on the other side. "
― Ally Carter , All Fall Down (Embassy Row, #1)
2 " But, in truth, it had not exactly been gold, or even the promise of gold, but more like the fantasy of gold, the fairy dream that the gold is there, at the end of the rainbow, and will continue to be there forever - provided, naturally, that you don't go and look. This is known as finance. "
― Terry Pratchett , Going Postal (Discworld, #33; Moist von Lipwig, #1)
