Richard P. Feynman
“My father had the spirit and integrity of a scientist, but he was a salesman. I remember asking him the question "How can a man of integrity be a salesman?"

He said to me, "Frankly, many salesmen in the business are not straightforward--they think it's a better way to sell. But I've tried being straightforward, and I find it has its advantages. In fact, I wouldn't do it any other way. If the customer thinks at all, he'll realize he has had some bad experience with another salesman, but hasn't had that kind of experience with you. So in the end, several customers will stay with you for a long time and appreciate it.”
Richard Feynman

Brandon Sanderson
“Just because I do not accept the teachings of the devotaries does not mean I've discarded a belief in right and wrong."
"But the Almighty determines what is right!"
"Must someone, some unseen thing, declare what is right for it to be right? I believe that my own morality -- which answers only to my heart -- is more sure and true than the morality of those who do right only because they fear retribution.”
Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

Tennessee Williams
“Possess your soul in patience - you will see!”
Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie

Terry Pratchett
“Insanity is catching.”
Terry Pratchett, Making Money

Chuck Palahniuk
“If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person?”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
