“What was the fun of being upper-class if you had to work so hard to appear bored all the time?”

“Morality is only for the middle class, sweet. The lower class can't afford it, and the upper classes have entirely too much leisure time to fill”

“So much time is spent with people superficially. You remember all the fun you had but nothing specific.”

“The house seemed almost without smells at all, pleasant or foul, leaving me to wonder if the upper class existed on a different sort of air from the rest of the world, a breeze piped into their homes from above the clouds, so clean you had to pay for it.”

“You study any pretty democracy, from the ancient Greeks forward, and you'll see that the only way each system functions is with a working class of slaves. Peons to haul the garbage so the upper crust can campaign and vote.”

“If everyone could be a successful and rich author, there would be no point in working so hard. Where is the fun in that?”
