F Scott Fitzgerald

Us Them Quotes #31202

Us Them Quotes #31916
#89. It is the way of the jungle, kid. Unlike us, they do not have masters to feed them. They hunt other animals to feed themselves. I don't consider them my enemy. But we have a conflict of interest, because it is my job to protect my master's flock.

Jennifer A. Nielsen

Us Them Quotes #33331

Ze Frank

Us Them Quotes #33818
#98. Because we can expect future generations to be richer than we are, no matter what we do about resources, asking us to refrain from using resources now so that future generations can have them later is like asking the poor to make gifts to the rich.
