We have to live without sympathy, don't we? That's impossible of course. We act it to one another, all this hardness; but we aren't like that really, I mean...one can't be out in the cold all the time...

We have the facade of a functioning capitalist democracy but underneath it is a species of corporate totalitarianism.
