Title: quote from John Steinbeck
Post by: three_sixty on June 20, 2005, 04:19:41 PM
"It always seemed strange to me that 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."

- John Steinbeck
