    “At the level of pay that those of you who run banks get, why the hell do you need bonuses to do the right thing?” He was answered by an abyss of silence. So he went on: “Do we really have to bribe you to do your jobs? I don’t get it. Think what you are telling the average worker—that you, who are the most important people in the system and at the top, your salary isn’t enough, you need to be given an extra incentive to do your jobs right.”
~ Congressman Barney Frank.

That quote is found in Dan Ariely's The Upside of Irrationality: The Unexpected Benefits of Defying Logic. In reality there's a lot of great quotes and quotable findings so far, but I really liked that one. I figured since kleinbl00 has talked about Ariely multiple times, I should get around to reading him. I'm more interested in part that relates to dating, but that seems to come later.
