“The Yen Buddhists are the richest religious sect in the universe. They hold that the accumulation of money is a great evil and a burden to the soul. They therefore, regardless of personal hazard, see it as their unpleasant duty to acquire as much as possible in order to reduce the risk to innocent people.”

“Other people salted away money for their old age, but Nanny preferred to accumulate memories.”

“I see evil when I look in my shaving mirror. It is, philosophically, present everywhere in the universe in order, apparently, to highlight the existence of good. I think there is more to this theory, but I tend to burst out laughing at this point.”

“Most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally evil, but by people being fundamentally people.”

“Oh. I see. People don't want to see what can't possibly exist.”

“They shed a rather unpleasant glow that didn't so much illuminate, as outline the darkness.”

“I just rearrange words into a pleasing order for money.”
