Sara Pascoe
“It's only in my head, the madness. And there's no way of knowing if all this is going on in everyone else's head too without exposing myself, and I'd rather be insane and on the loose than locked up in a hospital.”
Sara Pascoe, Weirdo

Nikolas Schreck
“There's a spirit to the western people, that is unique in the world.”
Nikolas Schreck

C. Toni Graham
“Toni's Talk: When you invest in yourself, you have instant credibility with your biggest critic...you! As soon as you let doubt creep in---you lose that investment. Make a daily commitment to assess your worth with positive affirmations and watch your investment grow.”
C.Toni Graham

Walter Isaacson
“I never worried about money. I grew up in a middle-class family, so I never thought I would starve. And I learned at Atari that I could be an okay engineer, so I always knew I could get by. I was voluntarily poor when I was in college and India, and I lived a pretty simple life even when I was working. So I went from fairly poor, which was wonderful, because I didn’t have to worry about money, to being incredibly rich, when I also didn’t “have to worry about money.
I watched people at Apple who made a lot of money and felt they had to live differently. Some of them bought a Rolls-Royce and various houses, each with a house manager and then someone to manage the house managers. Their wives got plastic surgery and turned into these bizarre people. This was not how I wanted to live. It’s crazy. I made a promise to myself that I’m not going to let this money ruin my life.”
Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs

Patrick Süskind
“Ему казалось, что глаза эти вовсе не его, а что будто
бы сидит он сам за этими своими глазами и выглядывает из них, словно из
мертвого округлого окна; да, ему казалось, что все это тело вокруг него
больше совсем не его, а будто бы он, Джонатан, -- или то, что от него
осталось, -- всего лишь крошечный сморщенный гномик, находящийся в
гигантском здании чужого тела, беспомощный карлик, заточенный внутри слишком
большой и слишком сложной человеческой машины, над которой он больше не
может властвовать и которой он больше не может управлять по собственной
воле, но которая управляется сама собой или какими-то другими силами, если
это вообще возможно.”
Patrick Süskind, The Pigeon
