"No, You're wrong there--quite wrong there. The bank is something else than men. It

but they can't control it."
- John Steinbeck from The Grapes of Wrath

And because they were lonely and perplexed, because they had all come from a place of sadness and worry and defeat, and because they were all going to a mysterious new place ... a strange thing happened: the twenty families became one family, the children were the children of all. The loss of home became one loss, and the golden time in the West was one dream."
- John Steinbeck - The Grapes of Wrath
