Quote #10
You couldn't tell the Good Guys from the Bad Guys and neither could they. […] You could ask a thousand people on seven continents what it was all about and you wouldn't get the same answer twice; nobody really knew for sure but you could bet one or more of the following words would crop up: oil, money, land, sanctions, democracy. (2.3.16)
Daisy's discussing the end of World War III here, but her words could easily be applied to almost any major world conflict—the same themes keep cropping up and people keep fighting over them. Though Daisy is making a point about the futility of war, she sounds detached, as though living through it has exhausted her thoughts on war.
