Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another – too often ending in the loss of both.

Federico García Lorca
I was lucky enough to see with my own eyes the recent stock-market crash, where they lost several million dollars, a rabble of dead money that went sliding off into the sea. Never as then, amid suicides, hysteria, and groups of fainting people, have I felt the sensation of real death, death without hope, death that is nothing but rottenness, for the spectacle was terrifying but devoid of greatness.
Federico García Lorca, 1898 – 1936
