regarding certain CEOs of financial and insurance companies

"It is a joke to me that this man should have presented himself as an ardent conservationist, since so many of the companies he served as a director in in which he was a major stockholder were notorious damagers of the water or the soils or the atmosphere. But it wasn't a joke to *MacIntosh, who had come into this world incapable of caring much about anything. So, in order to hide this deficiency, he had become a great actor, pretending even to himself that he cared passionately about all sorts of things."
Kurt Vonnegut, from Galapagos
