“It has always seemed strange to me. The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success.”
— John Steinbeck (b. 27 February 1902)

I wonder who it was who defined man as a rational animal. It was the most premature definition ever given. Man is many things, but he is not rational.
