"Sometimes, but people can also be warm and caring," she said. "I've met a few. Not everyone cares about getting ahead. But yes, I agree with your take of the world. The more important people are, the more they want. Money, fame, power, it's all they want, but they don't understand that in the end, none of that will make them happy."
Lorelai chuckled. "I don't exactly know the truth, but I know what books and films tell me and apparently you could live forever if you didn't do anything stupid."
