Alain de Botton
“Anyone who isn't embarrassed of who they were last year probably isn't learning enough.”
Alain de Botton

Michael   Lewis
“When you’re a conservative Republican, you never think people are making money by ripping other people off,” he said. His mind was now fully open to the possibility. “I now realized there was an entire industry, called consumer finance, that basically existed to rip people off.”
Michael Lewis, The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine

Michael   Lewis
“For a lot of the players it was their first exposure to the Southern female - the most flagrant cheater in the mutual disarmament pact known as feminism. Lipstick! Hairdos! Submissiveness!”
Michael Lewis, Moneyball

Michael   Lewis
“The world clings to its old mental picture of the stock market because it’s comforting; because it’s so hard to draw a picture of what has replaced it; and because the few people able to draw it for you have no interest in doing so.”
Michael Lewis, Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt

Robert E. Howard
“Time and times are but cogwheels, unmatched, grinding on oblivious to one another. Occasionally - oh, very rarely! - the cogs fit; the pieces of the plot snap together momentarily and give men faint glimpses beyond the veil of this everyday blindness we call reality.”
Robert E. Howard, Bran Mak Morn: The Last King
