"We're bankers. That is really all we are. If you've been imagining some sort of fabulous conspiracy, you are in for a disappointment. Bankers, you see, don't actually do very much.

No matter how long we exist, we have our memories. Points in time which time itself cannot erase. Suffering may distort my backward glances, but even to suffering, some memories will yield nothing of ther beauty or their splendor. Rather they remain as hard as gems. View quote
