* Scott Boras has a reputation among baseball fans as the most vile agent in the game because of the way he always tries to drive up the price of his clients, which can often lead to them ending up nowhere until the season has almost started when his asking price is too high. After all, since his salary is based on percentage, the more money his clients make, the more money he makes.
* When Ayn Rand was a Hollywood scriptwriter, she worked with a woman who stated her aim in life as follows. "If nobody else had a car, I wouldn't want one. If anybody has two cars, I want two. If someone else has a better house, I want it, etc". Rand was unable to understand why anyone would define their own value only in terms of what other people have. Her heroes, of course, function on love of their own work, although they insist on getting full payment for it.
