Speaking of cool quotes, here's one from an op-ed piece in today's NY 
Times written by a woman doing a book on Jews and money:

I remember attending a small dinner party where George Soros was one of 
the guests; it made sense to me that he held the floor when he discussed 
matters he was expert on, but I couldn’t figure out why all of his 
opinions, on whatever subject — be it interior design or the value of 
single-sex schools — were treated as equally valid. And then it occurred 
to me: he was much wealthier than the other dinner guests, which meant 
that everything he said was ipso facto of sovereign interest.
