    You’re exactly right, it’s money, power, and sex. I never meant to portray this as cartoonish malevolence or some kind of profound evil - only the banal sort enacted by the world’s most disappointing sorts of men, unimaginative, greedy, cruel, and immature. They have forever been humanity’s cross to bear.

      It’s the ironic thing about power. Generally the people who end up in power are the ones seeking it and they’re generally the people you least want to lead you.
