"The world is being run by people my age, men my age, with falling-out hair & health worries, & it frightens me. When the leaders were older than me I could believe in their wisdom, I could believe they had transcended rage & malice & the need to be loved. Now I know better. I look at the faces in newspapers, in magazines, & wonder: what greeds, what furies drive them on?" ~ Margaret Atwood (Cat's eye)
