An office party is not, as is sometimes supposed, the Managing Director's chance to kiss the tea-girl. It is the tea-girl's chance to kiss the Managing Director (however bizarre an ambition this may seem to anyone who has seen the Managing Director face on).
Katharine Whitehorn
Too great a preoccupation with motives (especially one's own motive) is liable to lead to too little concern for consequences.
