There's a quote I particularly love in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. It's one you've likely heard many times before, repeated by folks talking about wannabe dictators, despots, and lunatics, as well as the person's ill-informed, yet still quite boisterous manager.
It's the scene where Bruce and Alfred are talking about the motivations of Heath Ledger's impeccable Joker character. Bruce is wondering what makes the madman tick? And, with the wit and witticism that only Michael Caine can convey, he responds, "Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."
