“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
