And since the machine is not there, you have to make sure that everything you learn from the computer will not badly affect the way you play the real game.

Robert FulghumThatโs the problem with all of this. No matter how hard I try, I canโt make it perfect. I canโt keep it in a bottle, canโt ignore reality.

Tell me if thereโs room for love in either of those scenarios.

Hugh JackmanPeople who seek political power are, with exceptions too rare to matter, never to be trusted; at best, such people are vain and officious busybodies. People who actually achieve political power are to be trusted even less than those who seek it without success; winning elections requires a measure of deceitfulness and Machiavellian immorality that no decent person comes close to possessing.
