Pausfågel (13) - The monster

I frustration över all byråkrati, mina damer och herrar - John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath:

"We're sorry. It's not us. It's the monster. The bank isn't like a man.

Yes, but the bank is only made of men.

No, you're wrong there - quite wrong there. The bank is something else than men. It happens that every man in a bank hates what the bank does, and yet the bank does it. The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It's the monster. Man made it, but they can't control it."
