“It is not all that difficult to reach set targets if you do not have to count the cost. Any designer can design a desk that will cost 5000 krona. But only the most skilled can design a good, functional desk that will cost 100 krona. Expensive solutions to any problem are usually the work of mediocrity. We have no respect for the solution until we know what it costs." – Ingvar Kamprad

“I would say that you have fallen into the commonest fallacy of all in dealing with social and economic subjects—the ‘devil theory.’ […] You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity. […] You think bankers are scoundrels. They are not. Nor are company officials, nor patrons, nor the governing classes back on earth. Men are constrained by necessity and build up rationalizations to account for their acts.” ― Robert A. Heinlein, Logic of Empire
