Alain de Botton
“Yet in reality, the likelihood of reaching the pinnacle of capitalist society today is only marginally better than were the chances of being accepted into the French nobility four centuries ago, though at least an aristocratic age was franker, and therefore kinder, about the odds. It did not relentlessly play up the possibilities open to all those with a take on the future of the potato crisp, and so, in turn, did not cruelly equate an ordinary life with a failed one.
Our era is perverse in passing off an exception as a rule.”
― Alain de Botton, The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work

“Hustle until your haters ask if you're hiring.”
― J.D. Weidenkeller
