"What had happened since the end of World War I was that the intellectual
level had entered the picture and had taken over everything. It was this
intellectual level that was screwing everything up." (Lila, 24)

"A free market is a Dynamic institution. What people buy and what people 
sell, in other words what people value, can never be contained by any 
intellectual formula."(Lila, 17)
