“To learn that a man can make foolish plays for no reason whatever was a valuable lesson. It cost me millions to learn that another dangerous enemy to a trader is his susceptibility to the urgings of a magnetic personality when plausibly expressed by a brilliant mind. It has always seemed to me, however, that I might have learned my lesson quite as well if the cost had been only one million. But Fate does not always let you fix the tuition fee. She delivers the educational wallop and presents her own bill, knowing you have to pay it, no matter what the amount may be.”
― Jesse Livermore, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

“There's nothing wrong with you Ray, your only trouble is you never learned to get out to spots like this, you've let the world drown you in its horseshit and you've been vexed...”
― Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums

“Никому не следует проживать жизнь, ни разу не испытав здорового, даже скучного уединения в глуши, когда обнаруживаешь, что зависишь исключительно от себя самого, а следовательно, познаешь собственную истинную и скрытую силу. – Научаешься, к примеру, есть, когда голоден, и спать, когда сонен.”
― Джек Керуак
