"Lately in a wreck of a Californian ship,
one of the passengers fastened a belt about him
with two hundred pounds of gold in it,
with which he was found afterwards at the bottom.
Now, as he was sinking - had he the gold? or the gold him?"

-- John Ruskin, Unto This Last
(Opening Quote in the book Moneyball by Michael Lewis)
