Be It Ever So Humble...
Ritchie - Incidentally... mind telling me what keeps you in the city? You some kind of exterminator?
Neville - I guess maybe you could call it that.
Richie - Very complicated, Doctor. I'd be living on top of City Hall, or better, the Oxy Tower... instead of that pillbox you're in.
Neville - That's where I live. It's where I used to live. It's where I'm going to live, and not Matthias nor his Family... nor any other son of a bitch is going to make me leave.
- Omega Man (1972)

Wrong-headed
“Stupidity does not consist in being without ideas. Such stupidity would be the sweet, blissful stupidity of animals, molluscs and the gods. Human stupidity consists in having lots of ideas, but stupid ones.”
– Henry de Montherlant (1896-1972)

Psychopaths
“Decades ago I read how literal psychopaths (individuals and family cabals) had risen to the top of almost every sector of society. When I mentioned this to seemingly open minded people they laughed or looked blankly at me. Those who truly control society from the shadows have gradually encouraged and directed social policy that rewards the psychopathic mindset. And here we are.”
- Frazer Smith
