“What I find appealing about the capitalists is the representation of love of capital in the form of these ponderous and somewhat cuddly, elephantine gentlemen. I owe a debt to these guys for causing the system I depend upon to be so rigorously supported. It is not greed they display in their obvious affection for their boxes and it is way past them just buying things with money. They seem happy with just principle.”

-Wolfe, William. Poetry Journal of the Sherwin, July, 2004
