“Despite Harvey's crude ways and his penchant for intemperate action, Dulles, who needed action heroes to boost the agency's image, helped turn him into a CIA legend”
David Talbot

Ernest K. Gann
“In reference to flying through thunderstorms; "A pilot may earn his full pay for that year in less than two minutes. At the time of incident he would gladly return the entire amount for the privilege of being elsewhere.”
Ernest K. Gann, Fate Is the Hunter

Scott Galloway
“[But] the bad stuff lands like a thud, generating headlines and invoking worst-case scenarios that drown out the sound of anything else. The good stuff creeps up on us, occurring slowly and quietly in the background as we gradually (and unobservantly) grow acclimated to it without even realizing. It’s rare for us to feel it or remark upon it in real time.”
Scott Galloway

Terry Pratchett
“I was lucky, lad,' he said. 'But it helps to remember little details and not mind getting your hands dirty.”
Terry Pratchett, Night Watch
