John Maddox Roberts Quote
Some men care only about power. That's Caesar. He wants to accomplish things and he has to have power to do so, so he has pursued power with a single-mindedness as I've never seen. It makes him uncomfortable to be around. I prefer a brute sensualist like Antonius. He wants power, but that's just so he can accumulate more wealth and more women and wine and food and houses. Power to him means things he can taste and feel. To Caesar'--I shrugged--'to Caesar I don't know what it means. I can't fathom him.
