About This Quote

If you can't win by reason, go for volume. This is a quote from Peter S. Beagle's excellent book "The Last Unicorn." It is well worth reading. The protagonist in this story works in an office where her boss has set up a system of rewards for the top performers.

The best performers get special treats, like flowers, while the other employees generally get small gifts. The protagonist makes it her goal to be one of the top performers because she wants the special treats. Eventually she realizes that the top performers are really cheating, and she wins by sheer volume of work instead of quality.
