Alexander Hamilton
War is in fact the true nurse of executive aggrandizement. In war a physical force is to be created, and it is the executive will which is to direct it. In war the public treasures are to be unlocked, and it is the executive hand which is to dispense them. In war the honors and emoluments of office are to be multiplied; and it is the executive patronage under which they are to be enjoyed. It is in war, finally, that laurels are to be gathered, and it is the executive brow they are to encircle. The strongest passions, and most dangerous weaknesses of the human breast; ambition, avarice, vanity, the honorable or venial love of fame, are all in conspiracy against the desire and duty of peace.

(William Morris)

The hardest thing about being a black writer in this town is having to pitch your black story to white execs...Also, most of the time when we go into rooms to pitch, there's one token black executive that sometimes can be a friend and sometimes can be a foe. I wonder if they think it makes me more comfortable, if that makes me think that they're a woke network or studio because they've got that one black exec. It feels patronizing. I'm not against a black exec. I want there to be more of them. View quote

Anna Wintour
