“Contra the prevailing belief, "success" isn't being on top of a hierarchy, it is standing outside all hierarchies.”

“For I have a single definition of success: you look in the mirror every evening, and wonder if you disappoint the person you were at 18, right before the age when people start getting corrupted by life.

All other definitions of success are modern constructions; fragile modern constructions.”
