Kindle Notes & Highlights
Is this democracy? Why, certainly, it is democracy, if democracy is the machinations of a small handful of great and powerful men who by bribery and marriage own the others.
Games, unlike life, have a structure, a pattern, an order to unlock. Play, and all mysteries shall be revealed.
Levity and sincerity are not antonyms. We take pleasure in playing chess, but that does not mean we make wasteful moves.
Life is lived through things which are not true. We pretend ourselves foolish in order to show our wisdom. We find things funny, which are sad. We smile at those who we would destroy, make alliances with those we do not respect, admire ourselves for our intellect and always look for the ultimate prize. We would be great, every one of us, and to achieve greatness do not bother to look at those we have destroyed in our path.
