He is an agent seeking in every act the accomplishment of some concrete, objective, impersonal end. By force of being such an agent, he is possessed of a taste for effective work, and a distaste for futile effort. ~Thorstein Veblen

It was the rule to count to ten if instinct wasn't needed, but common sense was. ~Melina Marchetta
