Summary

This quote highlights the presence of hierarchy and rank even in seemingly merit-based institutions like the United Nations. While the organization claims to have a level playing field by eliminating corner offices, the number of windows in individual offices is seen as an indicator of hierarchy. Having five windows is considered a symbol of higher rank and importance, whereas having only one window is seen as less prestigious. This observation suggests that even in organizations designed to promote equality and fairness, visible signs of status and power still persist.

Thou askest me to take things seriously? After what thou didst last night? When thou needest to kill a man and instead did what you did? You were supposed to kill one, not make one! When we have just seen the sky full of airplanes of a quantity to kill us back to our grandfathers and forward to all unborn grandsons including all cats, goats and bedbugs. Airplanes making a noise to curdle the milk in your mother's breasts as they pass over darkening the sky and roaring like lions and you ask me to take things seriously. I take them too seriously already.
