18 Quote “It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men: kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest: sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they, love the produce of the second.”
