"Adverticing, stock brokerage, the whole apparatus for making money only from the manipulation of money, it is not only wasteful but also corrupting, as all meaningful money values got distorted in such manipulation"
"History is what happens when you aren't looking - an unknowable infinity of events, which although out of control, controlls everything."
