“It seems to me that there must be an ecological limit to the number of paper pushers the earth can sustain, and that human civilization will collapse when the number of, say, tax lawyers exceeds the world’s total population of farmers, weavers, fisherpersons, and pediatric nurses.”

“They unhook their heavy swords
From golden and silver boughs;
But all that are killed in battle
Awaken to life again.”
