"I've triumphed! Finally I am a very wealthy man which means that everybody must do as I say! I think I'll buy myself a new car with an extra powerful engine so that I can exceed the legal speed limit and an extra thick bumper so that I can ram into people without getting it scratched.

Nadine Cross: They're coming for you, you know. The old woman sent them before she died.
Randall Flagg: Get your ass back in here.
Nadine Cross: Everything you've made here is falling apart. They're saying a simple retarded boy outwitted Randall Flagg. They're saying Judge Farris got away from your man in Idaho.
Randall Flagg: He's as dead as Judas Iscariot.
Nadine Cross: They're asking questions about Dayna, too. It's all slipping through your fingers. And they're whispering, Randy.

And when they come here — Stu… and Ralph… and Glen… and La— when they get here, your time will end, and I'll be watching. I'll be watching from Hell, with your baby in my arms!

—Dolores Umbridge, Harry Potter

My sister. My dear sister. Oh, she'll think she's so great, won't she?

You do NOT tell your elders what to do!

But what we call “empty suits”, of the kind you see in think tanks or large corporations -- those who want to increasingly run our lives or intervene in Libya -- look like actors playing the part, down to their vocabulary and the multiplicative meetings. Talk is cheap and people who talk and don’t do are easily detectable by the public because they are too good at talking.

— Nassim Nicholas Taleb, What do I mean by Skin in the Game? My Own Version
