Who gives a damn about being remembered? That's really for amateurs.

People in my situation get to read about themselves whether they want to or not. It's generally wrong. Or oversimplified - which is sometimes useful.

How to get people to vote against their interests and to really think against their interests is very clever. It's the cleverest ruling class that I have ever come across in history. It's been two hundred years at it. It's superb.

The oligarchs think that the people are both dangerous and stupid. Their point is moot. But we do know that the oligarchs are a good deal more dangerous to the polity than the people at large.

Somebody has to keep score and I decided I was going to do it. I'm a born score-keeper and I realize, like an umpire, that my decisions may cause distress.

Miss Rand now tells us that what we have thought was right is really wrong. The lesson should have read: One for one and none for all.

You know, I've been around the ruling class all my life, and I've been quite aware of their total contempt for the people of the country.
