Elza's Kitchen

“When I saw an opportunity, I took it. That’s all anyone has to do. Not to be afraid to take a chance.” Dora’s father. Pg. 90.

Dora’s family took the idea of capitalism and entrepreneurship so closely to heart that not much else was discussed or deemed important. They didn’t attend the theater. They didn’t listen to classical music. These were pragmatic business people, not intellectuals, and certainly not artists or sensitive to aesthetic natures. That was the most curious thing about this family. They were supportive and happy. They possessed no guile whatsoever. The whole point of their existence was to create wealth, and their whole secret to living was knowing that anything could create wealth.” Pg. 90
