The room was overcrowded, but Quincy had managed to elbow his way toward the front row. Somehow, among the mass of humanity, an empty chair without any contents sat ready. It was as if this chair was waiting for Quincy. He took his seat and looked around, only to meet the eyes of his longtime rival, Janice, in the seat directly to his left. Now it became about the competition. "Come to order! First item is up for bid!" the auctioneer bellowed. Quincy and Janice unlocked their competitive stare to glance at the delicate vase sitting on the first pedestal before both began leafing through the auction catalog. Quincy loved auctions and the increased excitement and anxiety they brought. If Janice was here, then he knew his hunch about the first mass produced electric guitar being available was correct.
Quincy spent the rest of the first three hours eyeing the stage, casually paying attention before a break in the action and a surge of disappointed auction-goers left. Quincy took the time to stretch and watch the still full room raise the bids on otherwise priceless pieces of art, decor, and memorabilia. These were his people, so much so that he gave Janice a sly smile as he sat back down and patiently waited.
Janice, too, was playing a game with Quincy in this room. She knew he had come for the guitar, but she was here for something else. She knew the electricity of the room would cloud Quincy's judgment, and his singular focus on an item would allow her to snatch up her own prize. But unlike Quincy, Janice was a bundle of nerves. For her plan to work, the auction had to proceed so that the guitar came before her cherished prize; otherwise, Quincy might abandon the guitar for it.
Luckily for Janice, the next item was Quincy's prized guitar. Quincy leaped back out of his seat and shouted, "I will start the bidding at $5,000!" The room fell into stunned silence, and aside from one fierce bidder in the back, Quincy ended up with his guitar at a great price. It wasn't until he won that he noticed Janice did not bid. His mind began to race when the first prototype of Quincy's newly bought guitar came onstage with the gasp of a surprised crowd. This was the guitar built before Quincy's, making it even more desirable!

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
