“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!”
― Sylvester Stallone, Rocky Balboa

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

“Why did investment banking pay so many people with so little experience so much money? Answer: When attached to a telephone, they could produce even more money.

― Michael Lewis, Liar's Poker
