Tired and Scared


             Man has always been a venal animal. The growth of population, the huge costs of war, the incessant pressure of confiscatory taxation - all these things make him more and more venal. The average man is tired and scared, and a tired, scared man can't afford ideals.

The Long Goodbye
Raymond chandler
