Plutarch Quotes
For the rich men without scruple drew the estate into their own hands, excluding the rightful heirs from their succession; and all the wealth being centred upon the few, the generality were poor and miserable.

It would be a bitter cosmic joke if we destroy ourselves due to atrophy of the imagination.
