only complicated stupid moves which make us wonder at the possibility that
there may be something to them we are missing."

   All men dream: but not equally.  Those who dream by night in
   the  dusty  recesses  of their minds wake in the day to find
   that it  was  vanity:  but  the  dreamers  of  the  day  are
   dangerous  men, for they may act their dream with open eyes,
   to make it possible.

      "It's said that 'power corrupts', but actually it's  more
      true  that  power attracts the corruptible.  The sane are
      usually attracted by other things than power.  When  they
      do  act,  they  think of it as service, which has limits.
      The tyrant, though, seeks mastery, for which he is  insa-
      tiable, implacable."

"Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And
 East is East and West is West and if you take cranberries and stew them
 like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does.
